The provision establishes the operational scope of geolocation data collection and defines the categories of authorized uses and recipients. It establishes that geolocation data flows to external advertising partners as part of the platform's advertising and analytics infrastructure, which affects the breadth of entities with access to location information.
Users who grant permission to location access authorize Grubhub to retain and use their precise geolocation for platform operations, service improvement, and personalized recommendations. The terms also authorize Grubhub to share geolocation data with third-party ad networks and advertising partners for targeted advertising purposes outside Grubhub's direct control.
