What it is

Grubhub tracks how you browse the app and website, what you search for, which ads you see and click, and works with outside analytics and advertising companies that use cookies and similar tools to track you as well.

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)
