WHAT WE SHARE

HomeSphere is a platform that may connects users with Personal Shoppers who shop for and deliver the goods that you want from retailers. In order to make this work, we need to share information about you and your order with the other parties who help enable the service. This includes, for example, the Personal Shopper(s) who pick and deliver your order.

We also share information under the following principles:

  • With your consent or at your direction We will share your information with entities outside of HomeSphere when we have your consent to do so or it is done at your direction. For example:
  • If you enter loyalty card information from a particular retailer, we share that information with the retailer you chose along with your order so that information can update your loyalty card account.
  • If you share a recipe publicly on HomeSphere, it is viewable by anyone along with your first name and last initial.
  • For external processing We sometimes employ third parties outside of HomeSphere to process information on our behalf in compliance with this Privacy Policy and using other appropriate security and confidentiality measures
  • For legal purposes We share your information when we believe that the disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal process, or requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities, (b) prevent, detect, or otherwise handle fraud, security, or technical issues, and (c) protect the safety, rights, or property of any person, the public, or HomeSphere.
  • On a non-personal or aggregate basis We share information with retailers and advertisers on both a non-personally identifying basis (including order and delivery details but not including credit card information) and an aggregate basis.
  • For business purposes We may share your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. We may also share your information between and among HomeSphere, and its current and future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership.
