Details of your visits to the Site, such as traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Site; and

These IDs cannot be tracked back to you, but are tied to a specific device which may only be used by one person. We may collect information including location-related information, internet protocol addresses, mobile device models, carrier information, the operating system of your mobile devices and other non-personally identifiable information.

With respect to your use of the mobile application portion of our Site (the “App”), the App may include functionality to allow you to create a shopping list, search or add products to a favorites list, check price or product availability, print coupons and engage in a wide variety of other activities and services.

Additionally, the App collects precise information about the location of your device.

You can stop all collection of information by the App easily by uninstalling the App. Also, you may at any time opt-out from further allowing us to have access to your location data by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted, whether by law or otherwise (for example, to respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by you or on your behalf, or for tax, accounting or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure.
