What it is

Grubhub shares your personal identifiers and purchase history with advertising networks and partner companies so they can show you targeted ads and use your data for their own analytics. This applies to your name, email, order history, and browsing behavior on the platform.

This analysis describes what Grubhub's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)
