3. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies.
We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, replay session, and similar technologies to collect information and personalize your experience with the Dasher Services.
A. Cookies
Cookies are small web files that a site or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the site’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes: (1) to make the Dasher Services function properly; (2) to improve the Dasher Services; (3) to recognize you when you return to our platforms and to remember information you have already provided, such as your preferences; (4) to collect information about your actions and activities over time and across third party websites or other online services in order to deliver content and advertising tailored to your interests; and (5) to provide a secure browsing experience during your use of the Dasher Services.
You may disable the use of cookies by modifying your browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Dasher Services. For more information on cookies and how to disable cookies visit www.ftc.gov/ftc/cookies.shtm or https://www.usa.gov/optout_instructions.shtml.
B. Web Beacons
Web beacons, also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our platforms to deliver or communicate with cookies, in order to track and measure the performance of our platforms and services, monitor how many web visitors we have, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on webpages (or in an email).
C. Replay Session
We may collect information on your use of our platforms or the Dasher Services, such as pages visited, links clicked, non-sensitive text entered, and mouse and scrolling movements. The information collected may include a recreation of your session interactions on our platforms. We take measures to utilize replay session technology to exclude and block sensitive user information.
D. Online Analytics and Advertising Technologies
We and our third-party vendors may use automated technologies (including cookie identifiers on our platforms), along with other collected information, to tailor ads or deliver content when you are on the Dasher Services or on other devices, apps or websites.
E. Targeted Advertising
We (or our service providers) may use the information we collect, for instance, IP addresses and unique mobile device identifiers, to locate or try to locate the same unique individual across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content and features and provide you with a seamless experience across devices. If you wish to opt out of such cross device tracking for purposes of interest-based advertising, you may do so through your device settings. We may also use cross-device tracking to help identify individuals accessing our platforms and our users and to serve advertising. This type of advertising is often called “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising and when it occurs on mobile apps, “cross-app” advertising.
You can learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising managed through third party processes by visiting (i) the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or (ii) the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. These links are provided for convenience purposes only; DoorDash is not responsible or liable for the compliance practices and programs of the companies managing the opt-out processes available through the above links. For information on how to opt-out of targeted advertising through DoorDash’s processes, please see Section 8 (Your Rights and Choices) of this Policy.
Please note that even if you opt-out, you may still receive advertisements from us. However, in that case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs.
F. Mobile Applications
Depending on your permissions, we may receive your personal information from your Internet service and mobile device providers. Users of mobile devices who do not want to receive interest-based advertising may opt-out in several ways. Learn more about your choices for mobile devices by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. Each operating system, (iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, etc.) provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of in-application targeted advertisements. You should view your device or system “Settings” to determine how you can opt out of use of your device ID for “cross-app” personalized advertising.
G. Marketing Activities.
In addition to the other marketing and advertising activities described above, please see the following additional description of certain marketing and advertising activities.
Look-alike Modeling. We may use personal information and/or link personal information to a third-party cookie or other similar technology to develop audience insights and/or look-alike models in connection with our marketing campaigns, which models are used to market or advertise the Dasher Services on third party platforms (e.g., websites, apps, etc.) to people who exhibit similar characteristics with the look-a-like modeled data.
Audience Insights/Ad Measurement. We may use the personal information collected from or about you and your use of our Dasher Services and platforms to gather audience insights and engage in ad effectiveness measurement. In connection with this activity, we may share personal and transactional information about you and your use of our Dasher Services and platforms with our service providers, processors and business partners for the purposes of ad insight and ad effectiveness measurement reporting (either on an individual user level or an aggregate level), which will be used to create, enhance, and improve our Dasher Services and platforms and to create, enhance, improve, and implement marketing campaigns and content.
Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising. We may engage in targeted marketing or advertising to a Dasher based upon the Dasher’s personal information obtained from the Dasher’s activity across another company’s distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, however, such activities are only on our behalf and for the benefit of us and the Dasher Services.
We also use your information to personalize your experience. For example, we may personalize the content and features you see when visiting our Dasher Services. In addition, we may personalize advertisements, marketing communications, and recommendations to make them more tailored to your interests.
