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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision allocates responsibility for data handling and privacy compliance between Instacart and external entities. It establishes boundaries for Instacart's accountability by distinguishing between data practices Instacart controls and those operated independently by third parties.

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.

— Excerpt from Instacart's Instacart Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(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)
