We employ and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to safeguard and protect Personal Information under our control from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. 

9. Cross-Border Transfers

Instacart operates a global business, and we use vendors located around the world to help us run our business. Accordingly, the disclosures described above may result in the transfer of your Personal Information outside of the country or region in which you reside. For example, the Personal Information of customers located in Canada will be transferred outside of Canada (and for residents of Quebec, outside of Quebec), including to the United States. 

When we transfer your Personal Information outside of your country or province of residence, we do so in accordance with applicable law and take appropriate steps to ensure your information is protected. However, please note that while outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside, some of your Personal Information will be subject to applicable local laws, which may permit government and national security authorities in those jurisdictions to access your Personal Information in certain circumstances. 


10. Information Retention

We keep Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we have collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Information; the purposes for which we use the Personal Information; whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable laws that require us to retain information for regulatory purposes or permit us to retain the information to preserve our legal rights. 

11. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your place of residence, under applicable law, you may be able to, you can make certain choices and exercise certain rights with respect to our use of your Personal Information. Please note that rights and requests may be subject to applicable exceptions. We will not discriminate against you if you decide to exercise these rights:

a. Correct or update your account information and settings 

If you have created an account through the Services, you may review, correct, or update your information (including your name, telephone number, delivery address, and payment information) at any time by logging in to your account and visiting the “Account Settings” page. Please note that changes to your settings may require some time to take effect.  If you do not have or no longer have access to your Instacart account, please email us at [email protected] to submit your requests.


b. Exercise your marketing choices 

We may send you periodic marketing and promotional emails, push notifications and/or text messages to your mobile device, and where required by law we will obtain your consent to do so. If you no longer wish to receive our marketing and promotional communications, you may opt out of receiving them by following the opt-out instructions included in any communication that you receive from us or by visiting your Account Settings. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving marketing and promotional communications from us, we may still send you administrative and transactional messages from which you cannot opt out.    

c. Request to Access or Delete your Personal Information

You may request that Instacart provide you with a copy of your Personal Information or request that we delete your Personal Information. Prior to processing your requests, we must verify the identity of the requestor to help ensure that we do not for example provide your information to another person. To do so, we require you to submit up to three pieces of Personal Information that we then match against the account information we have on file for you. 

  • Account Holders. If you have an active Instacart account, click here to submit a request to access or delete your Personal Information. You will be prompted to re-log in to the Services.
  • Non-Account HoldersIf you no longer have access to your Instacart account, please email us at [email protected] to submit your requests. 
  • Authorized Agents. In certain jurisdictions you may authorize another person or entity to submit an access or deletion request on your behalf (an “Authorized Agent”). As part of our verification process, we will require proof concerning their status as an Authorized Agent. We will also require you to directly confirm with us that you provided the person or business entity with permission to submit the request. Authorized Agent can submit access and deletion requests by emailing us at [email protected]

d. Opt-out of the Sales or Sharing  (Behavioral Advertising) (not available in all states)

In certain states, you have the right to opt out of the sale and sharing of your information for Behavioral Advertising (also referred to as targeted advertising). If available in your state, you can exercise your right to opt out by visiting this link. Sharing and sales can occur, for example, where Instacart shares information about you with certain partners, including social media publishers, to enable Instacart or its partners to provide you with personalized ads on third party sites or applications and to better understand engagement with such advertising. 

Depending on your place of residence, under applicable law, you can use certain preference signals to exercise your sale and sharing opt-out right automatically with all businesses that you interact with online, including Instacart. If you enable a browser-based opt-out preference signal that complies with applicable law, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), upon receipt or detection, we will treat the signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information linked to that browser and any consumer profile we have associated with that browser. Please note that if you use different browsers or browser profiles, you will have to enable the signal on each one that you use.

Please note that even if you opt-out of the sale of your information and the sharing of your information for Behavioral Advertising,  you may continue to see advertisements from Instacart and/or our partners; however, these advertisements will not be as relevant or personalized to you.

e. Appeals

If you submit a request to exercise any of the rights described above and we do not take action on the request, you may appeal our decision if you are in an eligible jurisdiction. To appeal our decision, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Rights Request Appeal.”

f. Do Not Track.

“Do Not Track” (“DNT”) is a developing standard for web browsers that aims to inform the websites you visit that you do not want information about your online activity collected over time and across third-party websites or online services. Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our users, we do not interpret or respond to DNT or other similar signals from your browser at this time. For more information, visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.


12. Disclosures for Residents of California

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with certain rights.

Please see Your Privacy Choices above for information on how to opt-out of such sharing or sales. 

Alternatively, where available, you can use certain preference signals to exercise your sale and sharing opt-out right automatically with all businesses that you interact with online, including Instacart. If you enable a browser-based opt-out preference signal that complies with the CCPA, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), upon receipt or detection, we will treat the signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information linked to that browser and any consumer profile we have associated with that browser. Please note that if you use different browsers or browser profiles, you will have to enable the signal on each one that you use.

b. Use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information

We only use or disclose sensitive Personal Information as necessary to provide the Services; resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at our business; ensure the physical safety of natural persons; and verify, maintain, and improve the quality of our Services.
