Contact and profile information. When you create an Account, complete your Account profile, sign up for a mailing list or otherwise communicate or interact with us, we may collect information from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail address and physical address. We use this contact and profile information to: (a) create and personalize your Account; (b) communicate with you directly about the Services as well as about any questions, issues or concerns you or other users may have, (c) fulfill your orders, and (d) send you marketing communications in accordance with your preferences.
Payment information. When you submit an order, you are required to provide payment information, such as your credit card, debit card or gift card details. We use this payment information to fulfill your order, complete the transaction, and detect and prevent fraud.
Transaction information. When you submit an order, we collect information, including the items purchased, date and time of your transaction and special instructions. We use this transaction information to fulfill your order, detect and prevent fraud, personalize your experience, perform analytics/identify usage trends and inform our advertising and marketing.
Communications, participation and other content. We maintain all communications resulting from your interactions with us or with Drivers by email, phone, mail or chat. We also record comments and opinions you express when responding to surveys or taking part in promotions we run. We use all of the foregoing communications to address your questions, issues and concerns and provide other related customer support services, for safety and security purposes, to improve our Services and for analytics. We also maintain your Ratings, which we may, but have no obligation to, post for the benefit of all of our users.
Other information you provide. With your permission, we may access your photos or contact list from your mobile device, Facebook Messenger account or email account to enable you to share content or promotions or invite your friends to connect with our Services.
We may also use aggregate personal information for regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, research, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising and other business purposes as long as the end-product does not uniquely identify you or any other user of the Services.
Personal Information Generated or Automatically Collected During Your Use of the Platform:
Information about your device and its software. Information about your device and its software includes your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, operating system, date and time stamp and a unique ID that allows us to identify your browser, mobile device or your Account (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or an Ad ID), and other similar information. We may also work with third-party partners to employ technologies, including statistical modeling tools, that permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices. We use this device and software information to diagnose and fix technology problems, serve you personalized advertising, personalize your experience, perform analytics/identify usage trends, and improve our products and Services.
Information about the way you access and use our Services. Information about the way you access and use the Services includes the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave. In addition, we may track the pages you visit on the Platform, the links you click on the Platform, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails that we send, other actions you take on the Services and whether you access the Services from multiple devices. We may also use the information about the way you access and use our Services to determine products and services that may be of interest to you, to improve our products and Services, to evaluate the success of our advertising and marketing campaigns and to send you marketing communications.
Analytics information. We may collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends and the demographics of our users in order to improve our Services. You can learn more about Google's practices at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Location information. In some cases, you provide your location information to us directly (e.g., when you provide us with a delivery address). In other cases, we may collect your location through GPS, WiFi, wireless network triangulation or other methods, or we may otherwise infer your location based on other information we collect. We use location information to customize content on the Platform (e.g., to show you the Restaurants that will deliver to your location), facilitate order and delivery Services, detect and prevent fraud and measure traffic and analytics on the Platform. If you have previously opted into our collection and use of location-based information through our mobile application, we may collect and store the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background of your device. You may opt-out by adjusting the settings on your mobile device. We may also use the Google Maps API to gather information about your location. Google uses various technologies to determine your location, including IP address, GPS and other sensors that may, for example, provide Google with information on nearby devices, WiFi access points and cell towers (see Google's privacy policy and the Google Maps terms of service available at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps).
We typically collect such generated or automatically collected information through a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, Flash objects, web beacons, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and similar technology ("tracking technologies"), and we may use third-party partners or services to assist with this effort. Information we collect automatically about you or your device may be combined with other personal information we collect directly.
We, or the third-party partners we use, may use the data collected automatically through tracking technologies to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Platform; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information to you; (c) identify and contact you across multiple devices; (d) provide and monitor the effectiveness of the Platform; (e) perform analytics and detect usage patterns on the Platform; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; (g) detect or prevent fraud or other harmful activities, and (h) otherwise plan for and enhance the Platform and for other internal purposes.
Data From Other Sources:
Information we receive from third-party sites you connect to the Platform. We may receive personal information about you from third parties and combine that with information we collect through the Platform. For example, we may obtain information when you login to the Platform through a third-party social network or authentication service, such as Facebook or Google. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, which could include your name, email address, address book and contacts, or other information. Similarly, when you interact with us through a social media site or third-party service, such as when you like, follow or share our content on Instagram, Twitter or other sites, we may receive information that you permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive from these third-party sites is dependent upon that third party's policies and your privacy settings on that third-party site.
Information we receive from affiliates or third parties. From time to time, we may receive information about you from our Restaurant partners, from co-marketing partners, service providers and from other third parties. We may receive additional information about you, such as fraud detection information, from third party partners and combine it with other information that we have about you. We use this information from affiliates or third parties to create your Accounts, to contact you, to send you advertising or promotional materials or to personalize our Services, to protect against bot attacks and account takeovers and to better understand the demographics of our users.
We do not control, supervise or respond to how the third parties providing your information process your personal information, and any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information to us should be directed to such third parties.

PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
This Privacy Notice for California Residents applies solely to the personal data of individuals who reside in the State of California. We have provided this Privacy Notice for California Residents to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA") and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.
Your Rights and Choices: The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and how you may exercise those rights.
- Access to Specific Information; Data Portability Rights. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you: (a) the categories of personal information we collected about you; (b) the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you; (c) our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information; (d) the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information, if any; (e) the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request); (f) if we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
- Deletion Request Rights. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers, if any, to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to: (a) complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you; (b) detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; (c) debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (d) exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law; (e) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.); (f) engage in public or peer-reviewed research in accordance with Section 1798.105 (d)(6) of the CCPA; (g) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; (h) comply with a legal obligation; or (i) make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
- Exercising Your Rights. To exercise the access, data portability and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by email at support@blackandmobile.com.
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within any 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: (a) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the individual about whom we collected personal information or that you are an authorized representative of that individual; and (b) describe your request with sufficient detail to allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
- Response Timing and Format. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
- Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not: (a) deny you goods or services; (b) charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; (c) provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; (d) suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
