Mealland, and our subsidiaries and other affiliates (collectively, “Mealland,” “we,” “us” or “our”) are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose the Personal Information that you provide during your online and offline interactions with us or that we collect about you.
As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that can be used to individually identify a person or household, and may include, but is not limited to, name, email address, postal or other physical address, credit or debit card number, title, and other information reasonably linkable to an individual or household with or without other identifying information in our possession.
We may update this policy from time to time, and we will provide notice of any changes, for example, by sending an email notification, providing notice through the Sites or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy whenever you use or access the Sites or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
Categories of Personal Information we collect
We may collect the following categories of Personal Information from or about you:
· Information commonly used to identify you, such as your name, user name, physical address, email address, phone numbers, and other similar identifiers.
· Information about your usage of or other interaction with our websites, apps, blogs, or other digital properties (our “Sites”). This information includes actions taken, date and time, frequency, duration, quantity, and performance information related to logins, clicks, messages, how you reached our Sites, and other website and feature usage information.
· Information about your Mealland subscription, purchases or receipt of meal ingredients or other products we offer, or your use of our Sites (collectively, our “Services”). This information includes:
o delivery and dietary preferences
o information related to returns, refunds and cancellations, and
o information about gift orders and referrals
o information about your interactions with technical and/or customer support
· General information about your product and service preferences, including your interest in products or services offered by third parties, and your demographics, behavior, and predispositions.
· Information about your device, network, and internet connection, such as your IP address(es), MAC address, other device ID (UDID), device type, operating system type and version, and client version.
· Basic account information related to your Google, Instagram, Facebook, Apple, or other third party account if you choose to register and log in using such an account. This information includes your username and information from the third party service about whether you entered your password correctly. (These services are designed so that Mealland doesn’t see your actual password for these services – just whether you got the password right or wrong.)
· Limited payment information. (When you pay for a Mealland Service, your payment information goes directly to a payment processing company who is responsible for keeping your info safe. We never get your full credit card information. More info below.)
· Employment-related information from Mealland personnel and or an applicant for personnel positions.
· Other information you upload, provide, or create while using the Sites or our Services.
How we collect Personal Information
We collect many of the categories of Personal Information listed above when you affirmatively give it to us or transact business with us. You may always choose not to provide that Personal Information to Mealland but note that you may be unable to access certain services or features if they require Personal Information that you have not provided.
We also collect information automatically when you interact with our Sites. You can adjust certain settings, such as by turning off cookies in your browser or adjusting privacy settings in our apps, to reduce the amount of Personal Information we passively collect from you when you use our Services. Because we use these features to enhance your user experience (such as using cookies to remember your user name when you visit our Sites or by using push notification in our Apps to let you know the status of your Mealland orders), disabling such features may impact our Sites’ functionality.
We may also collect some Personal Information from third-party partners, who may actively or passively collect information on our behalf when you use our Sites. We may also receive Personal Information that third parties collect in other contexts, such as when you visit other websites that are unaffiliated with Mealland, and information collected from you offline.
More about active collection
Here are some more specific examples of categories of Personal Information we gather through active collection.
· Account Information: Name, email, password, address, phone number, subscription status, and dietary preferences.
· Transaction Information: Information about the Services you purchase, shipping and delivery information and information related to returns, refunds, and cancellations. We may also collect and store limited payment information from you, such as payment card type and expiration date and the last four digits of your payment card number; however, we do not collect, or store full payment card numbers and all transactions are processed by our third-party payment processors.
· Other Information You Choose to Provide, such as when you communicate with us using social media; participate in a survey, contest, promotion, or interactive area of the Sites; or when you request technical or customer support.
More about passive collection
Mealland and our third-party service providers automatically collect some information about you when you use our Sites, using methods such as cookies and tracking technologies (further described below). Information automatically collected includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data to analyze trends in the aggregate and operate the Sites.
In addition, when you use some of our Sites, network information is transmitted back to us such as Site usage information. This information is transmitted back to us, so we can determine how users are interacting with our Sites, to assist us with improving our Sites and Services, and to correct any problems that may occur.
Mealland and the vendors we work with – including web analytics vendors and companies that help us market Mealland Services – use various tracking technologies, including cookies and web beacons, to collect information about you when you interact with our Sites, including information about your browsing and purchasing behavior. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve the Sites and your experience, see which areas and features of the Sites are popular, and count visits. Web beacons are electronic images that may be used on the Sites or in emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. Vendors we work with may combine the personal information they collect when you use our Sites with information that they collect from other sources.
When you visit our Sites from a mobile device, we collect information about the mobile device you use to access or use the Sites, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information and information about your use of our mobile applications. With your consent, we may also collect information about the location of your device and access and collect information from certain native applications on your device (such as your device’s camera, photo album and phonebook applications) to facilitate your use of certain features of the Sites.
We may also collect information about you from other Mealland users. For example, a Mealland user can use our referral program to tell a friend about our Services, providing the friend’s name and email address in the process. A particularly generous Mealland user might send a friend a gift or gift certificate, providing the friend’s name, email address, and mailing address. Mealland users are responsible for obtaining any necessary consent from you before submitting your Personal Information to us.
Why we collect Personal Information
We collect and use the categories of Personal Information listed above in order to get you delicious meals and otherwise provide our Services, to communicate with you about your subscription and our Services, to provide customer support and troubleshooting, to improve our business, for security purposes, for other legitimate business purposes, or as required by law.
We restrict our use of employment-related information that we collect from Mealland personnel and or an applicant for personnel positions solely for hiring, human resources management, and other employment-related purposes or as required by law.
Our disclosure of Personal Information
First, we may share Personal Information about you with our service providers. Who have promised only to use Personal Information subject to this privacy policy in order to help Mealland run its business. We may disclose all of the categories of Personal Information we have about you with such service providers, for the purposes of providing, running, marketing, personalizing, improving, operating, and maintaining our Sites and Services.
Second, we also share Personal Information with a limited number of other businesses that aren’t service providers. These businesses offer services to Mealland, like serving advertisements on our behalf across the Internet, serving personalized ads on our website, and providing analytics services. Unlike with our service providers, these businesses have not promised to use Personal Information that we provide solely in connection with Mealland’s Sites and Services, and they may use your Personal Information for other purposes.
Last, we disclose Personal Information to courts, law enforcement, and other appropriate third parties when the disclosure is required or authorized by law or reasonably necessary for the protection of our property or legal rights.

More about “sale” of Personal Information
The companies we use for analytics and targeted advertising may use cookies, pixels, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Sites and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by us and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on the Sites and other websites, and better understand your online activity.
More about social media integrations
For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the social media services that you use and that provide these features. In other words, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and similar services all have their own privacy policies that you should read. Mealland’s privacy policy doesn’t apply to them.
Note, however, that Mealland will never ask you for sensitive personal or financial information when verifying your identity, and no Mealland employee will ask you to tell them your password.
Mealland will not discriminate against anyone that makes a request to access, delete, or limit our use or sale of Personal Information, but in some cases we will not be able to provide our Services to you without that information.
Communications preferences
We may send you communications (including emails, phone calls, text messages, push notifications, and snail mail) to your account and transactions initiated by you (such as order status updates and billing receipts). We need the ability to send you these communications to offer the Services, so we do not allow you turn them off entirely. But you can let us know if you have a preferred method for receiving these communications by changing the Notification Settings in your account, disabling push notifications as described below, or contacting us. We try our best to honor your reasonable preferences about communications.
We may also send additional communications about the Services, such as newsletters and additional options that may be of interest to you. We do our best to only send this type of communication to people who want to receive it. If you would like to discontinue receiving these communications, you can update your preferences by using the “Unsubscribe” link found in such emails or by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section of this policy.
More about disabling push notifications
Note that discontinuing push messages typically requires you to change your settings on your device. Each type of device operates differently, so please check your user manual if you’re having trouble.
Data retention
How long we retain your Personal Information depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process the data. We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Security of your Personal Information
Mealland is committed to protecting the Personal Information you share with us. We utilize a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When we transfer credit card information over the Internet, we protect it using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology.
We recommend you take every precaution in protecting your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser.
