What it is

Instacart's privacy policy does not cover websites or apps that are linked from Instacart's platform — those third parties have their own separate privacy policies.

This analysis describes what Instacart'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)

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Clicking on links to retailer websites or third-party services within the Instacart platform means your data on those sites is governed by the third party's privacy policy, not Instacart's — you should review each site's policy separately.
