What it is

If you use Grubhub through a university or campus program, Grubhub may share your name, email, and other identifiers directly with campus food service providers so they can market to you independently.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Campus users, who may include college students, are subject to a distinct data sharing arrangement with campus-specific food service operators that goes beyond what standard users experience, and these providers will contact them directly using Grubhub-provided data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are a campus Grubhub user, your personal identifiers may be shared with third-party food service companies on your campus, who can then contact you directly with marketing, governed by their own privacy practices rather than Grubhub's.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Campus users should review Section 2.1 of the Grubhub Privacy Policy and use the opt-out mechanism described there to prevent sharing of their identifiers with campus food service providers.
