Information Collected Automatically

US Foods, our Service Providers, and/or third-party services also automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Service (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, information about your use of the Service, and data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device).

The methods used to collect Usage Information include:

Log Information. Log information is data about your use of the Service, such as IP address, browser type, mobile app usage data, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and related data, and may be stored in log files.
Cookies. We use cookies and other tracking technologies (such as web beacons) to collect and store information about your interactions with our websites, including information about your browsing behavior. Our websites also support third-party cookies placed by our Service Providers, affiliates, and advertising partners.

Cookies are small files that a website transfers to your device through a web browser that enable the site’s or a third party’s systems to recognize your device and to capture and remember certain information. Web beacons (also known as tracking pixels) are tiny graphics embedded invisibly on a webpage or in an email that may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count users who have visited certain pages, and to understand usage patterns. In general, our websites use cookies and other tracking technologies as follows:

Where necessary to run our websites, for example by allowing you to log in and add items to your cart
To optimize the functionality of our websites, including by personalizing content for you, greeting you by name and remembering your preferences (e.g., your choice of language or region)
For analytics purposes—for example, to help us understand how our websites are used, to see what products most interest you, and determine how best to market our products to you. More information on website analytics is provided below.
For purposes of ad targeting and marketing. These cookies collect information about your browsing behavior on our websites in order to show you interest-based advertising when you visit other websites or use social media.
To determine if you open or act upon our email messages. Information on unsubscribing from our commercial email communications is provided below.
To obtain information about your interactions with our online advertisements, such as whether you clicked on an ad and the website where you may have seen the ad

Cookies vary in how long they last. “Session cookies” terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. “Persistent cookies” are stored on your device until a set expiration date. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on our websites.

More information on how the CHEF’STORE website uses cookies can be found here.

Web Beacons (“Tracking Pixels”). Web beacons are small graphic images, also known as “Internet tags” or “clear gifs,” embedded in web pages and e-mail messages. Web beacons may be used, without limitation, to count the number of visitors to the Service, to place cookies, to monitor how users navigate the Service, and to count content and advertising views.
Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service. It is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from US Foods’ web server, or from a third party with which US Foods works and is active only while you are connected to the Service and deleted or deactivated thereafter.
Location-identifying Technologies. GPS (global positioning systems) software, geo-filtering and other location-aware technologies locate you (sometimes precisely), or make assumptions about your location, for purposes such as verifying your location and delivering or restricting content based on your location. If you have enabled GPS or use other location-based features on the Service, your device location may be tracked by us and third parties. Our store finder feature may access and use information about your device location (such as based on IP address or GPS, as applicable), or your account information, to suggest appropriate store locations. Our Service content may be personalized based on various information we may have about you to try to provide you with more location-relevant content.
In-App Tracking Methods. There are a variety of Tracking Technologies that may be included in mobile applications. These are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. Some use device identifiers, or other identifiers such as “Ad IDs,” or may use “SDKs,” to associate app user activity to a particular app and to track user activity across apps and/or devices. SDKs are blocks of code that may be installed in our mobile application by third party companies with which we work. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our mobile application and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access our application, such as the advertising identifier associated with your device and information about how you interact with our application.
Device and Activity Monitoring. Technologies that monitor, and may record, certain of your interactions with the Service, and/or collect and analyze information from your device, such as, without limitation, your operating system, plug-ins, system fonts, and other data, for purposes such as identification, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, tracking and/or improving the Service and customizing or optimizing your experience on the Service.

Information US Foods Collects from Other Sources

Our Service Providers may collect Personal Information on our behalf in the course of providing their services to us. For example, when you place an order through one of our delivery partners, the delivery service may provide us with information about you and your order. We also may obtain your Personal Information from our parent, subsidiary, and sister companies. In some circumstances, we obtain Personal Information about you from business partners, resellers and data brokers, some of which may sell the information to us. To understand your rights and choices regarding Personal Information collected by other companies, please consult the privacy policies of the businesses that you interact with.

WHEN WILL WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION?

Social Features on Our Service

Certain functionalities on the Service permit interactions that you initiate between the Service and certain third-party services, such as third-party social networks (“Social Features”). Examples of Social Features include: enabling you to send content such as contacts and photos between the Service and a third-party service; “liking” or “sharing” US Foods’ content; logging into the Service using your third-party service account (e.g., using Facebook Connect to sign-in to the Service); and to otherwise connect the Service to a third-party service (e.g., to pull or push information to or from the Service). If you use Social Features, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on the Service or by the third-party service that you use. Similarly, if you post information on a third-party service that references the Service (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with US Foods, CHEF’STORE, or other US Foods affiliates in a tweet or status update), your post may be used on or in connection with the Service or otherwise by us and/or our affiliates. Also, both US Foods and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Service and any third-party service.

Analytics

US Foods may use Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or other Service Providers for analytics services. These analytics services may use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to help US Foods analyze Service users and how they use the Service. Information generated by these analytics services (e.g., your IP address and other Usage Information) may be transmitted to and stored by these Service Providers on servers in the U.S. (or elsewhere) and these Service Providers may use this information for purposes such as evaluating your use of the Service, compiling statistics on the Service’s activity, and providing other services relating to Service activity and other Internet usage. See below for more information on your choices regarding these services.

YOUR CHOICES ABOUT TRACKING AND COMMUNICATIONS FROM US

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Please review your browser’s Help menu for instructions, or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information. Additional options for opting-out of interest-based advertising can be found at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1. Please note that, if you disable all cookies, some features of our websites may not function properly.

Do Not Track Signals

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. We do, however, respond to the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal for California residents wishing to opt-out of the “sale” of their Personal Information. For more information, please see the California-specific section of this Policy, below.

Analytics and Advertising Technologies

You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Adobe Analytics by going to http://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html under the section labeled “Tell our customers not to measure your use of their web sites or tailor their online ads for you.” To exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Yahoo, please visit https://policies.yahoo.com/ie/en/yahoo/privacy/topics/webanalytics/index.htm. To opt-out of Hotjar’s collection and use of your Personal Information for analytics, please visit https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/do-not-track/.

You may choose not to receive some interest-based advertising by submitting opt-outs. Some of the advertisers and Service Providers that perform advertising-related services for us may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising, including use of cross-device data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program specifically for mobile apps. Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of interest-based advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain interest-based advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-out may not be effective.

We also use advertising services provided by Google Ad Services and Microsoft Advertising Services. To learn more about the data Google collects and how your data is used by it and to opt out of certain Google browser Interest-Based Advertising, please visit here. To learn about the data Microsoft collects and how your data is used by it and to opt out of certain Microsoft browser interest-based advertising, please visit here.

In addition, we may serve ads on other online services that are targeted to reach people on those services who are also identified on one of more of our databases (“Matched List Ads”). This is done by using tracking technologies or by matching common factors between our databases and the databases of the other online services such as Facebook or Twitter. We are not responsible for these third-party services, including without limitation their security of the data they hold about you. If we use Facebook to serve Matched List Ads on Facebook services, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of such a Facebook ad, or go to your account settings, and find out what options Facebook offers you to control such ads. If we use Twitter Matched List Ads, you should be able to review your ad options in account settings on Twitter.

US Foods is not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

Mobile Apps

With respect to US Foods’ mobile apps (“apps”), you can stop all collection of data generated by use of the app by uninstalling the app. To uninstall our apps, please follow the instructions from your operating system or device manufacturer. You may also be able to exercise specific privacy choices, such as enabling or disabling certain features (e.g., tracking across apps and websites owned by other online services, location-based services, push notifications, accessing calendar/contacts/photos, etc.) by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device and/or the app’s settings.

We work hard to protect US Foods and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold. In particular, we implement commercially reasonable measures to protect Personal Information from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet and online digital storage are not completely secure and US Foods does not guarantee the security of your information collected through the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords and the security of your devices. If you suspect any unauthorized activity associated with your account, please report that activity to us immediately.
