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.
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.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party website disclaimers are standard industry practice but do not eliminate FTC Act Section 5 liability if the overall user experience creates a misleading impression of privacy coverage. CCPA §1798.140 definitions of 'business' vs. 'service provider' vs. 'third party' are relevant if Instacart controls data flows to linked sites. PIPEDA accountability principle requires organizations to use contractual means to protect data shared with third parties. (2)
