The policy authorizes collection of precise GPS location, government-issued identification, payment card information, order history, device identifiers, and in-app message content, with provisions permitting disclosure to advertising partners, analytics providers, merchants, delivery partners, and law enforcement. The policy establishes opt-out mechanisms for California and certain other state residents to decline sale or sharing of personal data for advertising purposes.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is DoorDash's Consumer Privacy Policy, last updated July 1, 2025, governing the collection, processing, retention, and disclosure of personal information in connection with DoorDash's consumer-facing platforms, websites, mobile applications, and communication channels. The policy states that DoorDash collects contact information, account and profile data, government-issued identification, payment information, geolocation data, device identifiers, transaction and activity history, and communications content; the terms authorize disclosure of this information to service providers, Dashers, merchants, business partners, advertising networks, and government or law enforcement authorities. The policy asserts the authority to share personal information with advertising, analytics, and marketing partners for ad personalization on third-party platforms, and discloses use of session replay technology to capture user interactions; the policy also states that personal information may be processed outside the user's jurisdiction, including outside Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, without specifying transfer safeguard mechanisms in detail. The policy engages the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA), Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and analogous state privacy frameworks, as well as Canadian privacy law (including Quebec Law 25), Australian Privacy Act, and New Zealand Privacy Act; where applicability depends on jurisdiction, specific consumer rights such as opt-out of data sale or sharing, deletion, and correction are conditioned on residency and the operative state or national law.

What changed DoorDash's privacy policy was reformatted on May 11, 2026, with changes to the document's structural organization. Section headings were moved from standalone numbers (III, IV, V, VI) to inline positions with their corresponding titles. The Device Information disclosure remained substantively the same but was repositioned in the document. These are primarily formatting and organizational changes with no material alteration to what data DoorDash collects, uses, or discloses.
Why this matters The updated policy retains all substantive privacy disclosures. The reformatting of section headings from standalone numbers to inline titles does not alter what personal information DoorDash collects, how it uses that information, or what choices remain available to users. Your ability to turn off precise location sharing, for example, continues to be available under the revised structure.
