4. How We Disclose Information
 

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

These providers may use the information to measure advertisements, create audiences, personalize content, or provide advertising services, subject to their respective policies and your available privacy choices.
 

S & C Foods does not directly sell customer lists or rewards-account information for monetary payment. However, some privacy laws may define certain disclosures for targeted advertising as a “sale,” “sharing,” or a similar regulated activity even when no money is exchanged.

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;

• Detect, investigate, or prevent fraud, illegal activity, security incidents, or misuse;

• Protect the rights, safety, and property of S & C Foods, our customers, employees, or others; or

• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
   

Business Transactions
 

Information may be disclosed or transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction. Where required, we will provide appropriate notice of a material change affecting personal information.
 

Aggregated or Deidentified Information
 

We may use or disclose information that has been aggregated or deidentified so that it cannot reasonably be linked to a particular individual.
 

5. Marketing Choices
 

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the message.
 

Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue sending non-promotional messages concerning your account, rewards activity, transactions, security, customer-service requests, or changes to our services.
 

You may also contact us at info@scfoodsinc.com to request changes to your marketing preferences.
 

6. Your Privacy Rights
 

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information;

• Provide access to certain personal information;

• Correct inaccurate personal information;

• Delete certain personal information;

• Provide a portable copy of certain information; or

• Stop certain targeted advertising, sales, sharing, or profiling activities.
   

To submit a privacy request, email info@scfoodsinc.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.”
 

Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant records. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before completing a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

If we deny a request and applicable law gives you a right to appeal, you may appeal by replying to our decision or emailing info@scfoodsinc.com with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.”
 

Requests involving information independently controlled by Instacart, Google, Meta, or another third party should be submitted directly to that company.
 

7. Data Retention
 

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, administer rewards accounts, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect against fraud and security incidents.

Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the reason it was collected, legal requirements, and operational needs.
 

8. Information Security
 

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.

No method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information electronically is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that information will always remain secure or that unauthorized persons will never defeat our safeguards.
 

9. Children’s Privacy
 

Our websites and rewards services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at info@scfoodsinc.com so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
 

10. Third-Party Websites and Services
 

Our websites may contain links to websites, applications, and services operated by other companies, including Instacart and social-media platforms.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of independently operated third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
 

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
 

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, information practices, technology, or legal obligations.
