Welcome

Thank you for shopping at an Albertsons Companies Store! You clicked to get to this page, so we know that you are interested in our privacy practices and want to learn more. That is great, and we want to explain it to you. While we would love you to read this entire privacy policy (please do, we spent a lot of time drafting this), we know that you may not have time today. To make it easier for you to find how this policy impacts you and your information, we have broken it down into how you interact with our company and our banners. Hopefully, this helps you find your answer quickly.

We are Albertsons Companies, Inc.

We are Albertsons Companies, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). Our banners serve customers, guests, and patients across the United States. 

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, process, and share the Personal Data that you entrust to us (including health data covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)). At this time, this Privacy Policy does not include our United banner. The United privacy policy is available here.

Personal Data

What is Personal Data and why should you care about what we do with it? Let’s start with how we define Personal Data:

Personal Data is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked – directly or indirectly – to you or your household.

So, what does that really mean? Personal Data is more than your name, address, and phone number - it includes all types of "identifiers" that can tie back to you. The crumbs of data connected to you when you create an account, purchase items, shop online, and share your preferences are all Personal Data. While we collect some of this information directly from you, a lot is collected behind the scenes. We use this information to better understand you as a shopper and your journey with us so that we can personalize your experience.

The Parking Lot

In some of our store locations you may have noticed the signs in our parking lots related to our use of cameras. The cameras capture video and images of you, your vehicle, and others in our parking lot. They are there to keep an eye on the area, deter crime, and to help promote safety. In some states, our cameras may capture license plate information. Our asset protection team and others at our Company review the recordings and data throughout the year as part of our commitment to the community and to help keep the products you love in the stores.

You may also see that we have reserved Drive-Up & Go spots near the front of many of our stores (there are signs there too). When you take advantage of Drive-Up & Go, you simply place your order online, park in your designated spot at the estimated time, and let us know you have arrived. We may ask for your name, vehicle information, and parking spot to make sure your groceries make it into your trunk. After your groceries are safely delivered to your vehicle, the information is retained for a limited period of time (just in case there was a mix up).

While we don’t regularly provide the information we capture in the parking lot to law enforcement, insurance carriers, and other third parties, from time to time we may be asked to do so. For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices in the parking lot, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Entrance – Come on in

We have cameras in various locations throughout our stores. The cameras capture video and images of you as you shop. This technology helps us understand how traffic flows throughout our store, what’s on our shelves, and detect and respond to theft.

In addition, you may also get to test drive our smart shopping carts in some places. These carts capture details about what products are in your cart and provide payment options to help speed up the checkout process. 

As members of your community, your store may also have package storage lockers and other kiosks that support your delivery and entertainment needs. We do not receive your Personal Data from third party companies providing these options. 

While we don’t regularly provide the information we capture as you walk through our stores to law enforcement, from time to time we may be asked to do so. For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices at the store entrance, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Coffee – Caffeination on the Go

Starbucks Coffee shop

We get it, sometimes you just need a little java to get shopping. That’s why some of our stores have coffee shops at the entrance. The limited Personal Data captured when you purchase your iced latte may be shared between the third-party brand and Albertsons to help us better understand the service.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices at the coffee shops, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Shopping & Aisle Browsing

shopping and aisle browsing

Sometimes we may not have what you are looking for on our shelves. Don’t worry, we have alternative ways to get you what you need. Speak with a store associate or go online to check out broader availability and have the item delivered to your home from us or one of our third-party vendors. To do this, we may need your name, email address, phone number, home address, and billing information to get you your items.

From time to time, we may offer some instore games and activities. You may need a loyalty account to participate fully in these offerings. More details on these programs are available online, as you walk through our store, and at checkout.

We may also offer free in store Wi-Fi to our loyalty members so that you can look up a recipe online, text someone for help, or generally surf the web. When you log into our Wi-Fi, we may capture your device’s MAC address, IP address, and unique device identifier such as a name or number assigned to the device, along with your loyalty account details. We may also receive the real-time location of your device while it is accessing the Wi-Fi. For more information on our guest Wi-Fi see our Wi-Fi terms and conditions.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices in the aisles, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Pharmacy

pharmacy

Feed two birds with one scone, and drop off or pick up your scripts while you shop. The Personal Data we capture when you are at the pharmacy counter, by your pharmacists and telehealth professionals, and within our pharmacy systems is generally protected health information (PHI) covered under HIPAA. If you’ve been to a doctor, you may be familiar with these terms, but we wanted to break it down a little more clearly for you here. As your pharmacy health care provider, we have access to your prescription, the related Personal Data (e.g., name, date of birth), prescription history, and profile information to fulfill your pharmacy order. We may also have access to other health-related information you, your doctor, or your insurance carrier provides to us.

This information is most often used to fill your prescriptions, provide you with health care information or services, or contact you with questions and respond to your inquiries about our pharmacy Services.

When you come to pick up your prescription you will be asked to verify either your name and birthdate or the name and birthdate of the person for whom you have authorized to pick up the prescription. This information is needed to provide you with the medications you are collecting. As a reminder, please be respectful of those at the pharmacy counter. While our pharmacy associates work hard to keep your PHI confidential, we ask that you keep your distance from other patients undergoing a pharmacist consultation, dropping off or picking up their prescription, or receiving other pharmacy-related or health related services.

You can also easily schedule appointments for immunizations through the app or online. Each time you go into our pharmacy area for a vaccine you will be asked to fill out a vaccine authorization form. You will be asked for your name, birthdate, contact information, and some health related information (additional information may be needed for Medicare participants including Social Security Number). For your convenience, you can also access your Covid-19 vaccination records digitally. You can access and download your Smart Health Card via your mobile device or online. You will be asked to verify your identity by entering your name, birthdate, and phone number.

PHI collected and/or maintained by our pharmacies is subject to our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which more specifically describes how we may use or disclose PHI. You can find a copy of this notice here, at your local pharmacy, or by requesting a copy directly from the Privacy Office (see the “How to Contact Us”). If there are any conflicts between this Privacy Policy and our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, we will follow whichever document provides the most protection to your PHI. 

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices at the pharmacy, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Pet Medicine

Sometimes your dog Stella needs some medicine to feel better or live a healthier life. When you fill a pet prescription at our pharmacy there is some information that we need to collect about every pet parent. You will be asked for your name, birthdate, and pet’s name. If you and Stella don’t already have a pet profile in our system you will also need to provide your phone number, address, and insurance information (if relevant) to complete your profile. We use that information to fill your pet’s prescription, contact you with questions, and respond to your inquiries about the medication (although the benefits to your pet should be discussed with your veterinarian).

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for your pet, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Deli & Bakery Counters

bakery

Special events sometimes call for delicious Albertsons’ goodies, whether that be a cake, a meat/cheese/nuts/fruit spread sometimes called a charcuterie board (char·cu·te·rie - hard to say, but so yummy), or anything else that catches your eye. When you place your order we may capture your name, phone number, email address and the name or message you want added to a bakery item (for example, Happy Birthday Sam). We use this information to fulfill your order and prepare it for pick up.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices at the deli and bakery counters, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Wine, Beer & Spirits

beer, wine and spirits aisle

In some locations (depending on where you live), we may sell wine, beer and spirits in our stores. To provide you with these items we must check your license (or acceptable form of ID) and date of birth to ensure that you are legally permitted to purchase those items (we posted signs letting you know that we card). We may also digitally scan your ID in some locations as part of our alcohol and spirits compliance protocol. The information captured from your license is kept for 60 days, unless special circumstances require us to keep it longer. The information scanned is not used for our marketing purposes. 

In addition, some of our stores may have special concierge or marketing lists tailored to wine, beer and spirit afficionados. To participate you may be asked for your name, email address, phone number, wine preferences, and other information to tailor the program to your preferences. We use this information to update you on deals, events, and other wine, beer and spirit-related promotions. 

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices as you purchase wine, beer and spirits, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Checking Out

Checkout Counter

Whether you checkout with a store associate, complete your order online, use self-checkout or one of our other seamless checkout options, there is certain information we collect from you to process your transaction and get your groceries to your fridge and pantry. Depending on the method used to purchase, we may collect your name, email address, shipping address, phone number, store location, purchase information, and payment information. In addition, if you are a loyalty member enjoying the additional benefits of membership (e.g., greater rewards and discounts), we capture your loyalty account information see Customer Service (In Store & Online) Loyalty for additional information.

There are also cameras that we use to analyze lines and monitor the checkout area to detect potential theft. These cameras may capture your image. While we don’t regularly provide the information we capture at checkout to third parties, from time to time we may choose or be asked to do so.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices at checkout, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Customer Service (In Store & Online)

Loyalty

We love being part of your community and supporting you. So, we created a loyalty program that helps maintain our relationship and strengthen your loyalty to our family of stores by delivering an elevated shopping experience personalized to you. Our loyalty program offers a seamless experience in and out of our stores through many engagement opportunities, including through our pharmacy and health and wellness app, and benefits during and between your weekly shopping trips – hoping to make your experience feel easy, exciting, and friendly.

When you sign up for a loyalty account, we may collect your name, email, phone number, and ask you to create a password. You can enter other details, such as your birthday (we may just surprise you with a birthday treat). If you want to shop online and get groceries delivered to you, we will ask for payment details and delivery address. Outside of what you provide to us directly, we also collect data about your shopping preferences and how you interact with us - at our stores and on our apps. We collect this data to better understand you and your journey with us as a shopper, offer personalized deals, and help us make better business decisions and continuously improve. 

We may also provide special tailored promotions and discounts for our loyalty members. To do this we may ask for additional personal data to confirm your eligibility such as information about your job, student status, and other information that is program specific. We or a third party may also need to collect and/or share those details to offer or verify your eligibility.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices as party of loyalty, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Colorado residents—see the Colorado section below for additional loyalty program notice details.

Refunds and Complaints

Our commitment to service doesn't end once you leave the store. Whether you are dealing with a missing product, not entirely satisfied with your experience, or have other comments or questions, you can reach our customer support center by phone, chat, or sending us a message online. Depending on the specific issue, we may need to collect information from you to look into the matter and respond, such as your name, loyalty card or phone number used at checkout, and other relevant contact information. Sometimes you may just want a refund, in that case we will need to collect transaction data and your payment information. If you decide to call us, the call may be recorded, and your voice may be captured as part of that recording. 

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for customer support, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Money Transfers & Money Order Services

Sometimes you need to transfer or receive funds, some of our stores have partnered with a third party to allow you to do so when you shop with us. To use this service, you may be asked for your name, birthdate, social security number, address, occupation, and license (or valid ID). This information may be maintained by us or our third-party partner that enables the transaction (the personal data provided to the third party partner is governed by their privacy policy).

Carding for Tobacco Products

Tobacco products are subject to age restrictions, meaning we must check your license (or valid ID) and date of birth to ensure that you are legally permitted to purchase those items (we have posted signs letting you know that we card). In some locations, we may also digitally scan your license as part of our compliance protocol. The information captured from your license is kept for 60 days, unless special circumstances require us to keep it longer. 

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices as part of our Customer Service support, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Fuel

Safeway gas station

As a member of our loyalty program, you can earn and redeem rewards for discounts at the pump with our partnering fuel stations (where we own and operate them, or when run by a third-party partner). To administer the gas rewards, we will use your transaction data to keep track of the available reward points and to adjust your balance after each use. When you enter your loyalty number at the pump, we will confirm that you are an Albertsons loyalty member and send information on the points available back to your pump so that you can redeem them. 

Our third-party fuel station partners may also have their own apps where you can link your Albertsons gas rewards balance. If you allow it, then our fuel reward partners may have the ability to validate your loyalty number and the points available through their apps. Any data collected on these apps are subject to those partners’ privacy terms.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices at the pump, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Events & Contests

As a recipe for success, we are constantly looking for ways to better engage with you and bring you opportunities to learn and have fun. In some locations, we offer special in-store events (who doesn’t love National Donut Day), live and virtual classes, promotions, and sweepstakes. We may collect Personal Data such as information requested as part of the registration, typically your name and contact information, as well as transaction-related details tied to a particular promotion or sweepstake. Information collected will be used to manage attendees and contact you regarding the event or class or if you have won a prize or promotion.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for events and contests, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

At Home

FreshPass®

FreshPass® is a subscription grocery delivery program offered to our loyalty members. We can’t deliver the seasoning you forgot at the store if we don’t first gather some information from you, such as the basket information for your online order, your payment details, and delivery address. To get you cooking, we sometimes use third parties to deliver your items, in which case we will need to share your delivery address and contact information with them so that your items can make it to your door.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for delivery, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Pharmacy Delivery 

Where permitted by law, we may provide prescription delivery from your local store. If you're interested in home delivery, you can request pharmacy delivery through our mobile app, at the pharmacy, or by calling your local pharmacy. To fulfill the delivery request, we will need to collect your name, delivery address, payment details, and contact information. Once the prescription is ready for delivery, the medication is packaged in tamper-proof packaging, and Albertsons’ delivery partner is notified. Your payment details will be sent to our local delivery partner to pay the delivery fee and for delivery to your door.

Our delivery partner works with specially trained drivers to deliver the prescriptions while protecting private patient information. The drivers use a special app that tracks their progress and sends live text updates to you when your prescription is out for delivery. When they get there, you or your authorized representative must sign for the prescription. 

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for delivery, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Third Party Grocery Delivery and Pick-Up Services

Life gets busy; we get it. That's why we've partnered with third party grocery delivery and pick-up services to make shopping for your groceries with us that much easier. Now instead of hoping between apps, there are even more ways that you can shop with us. If you still want to use a third-party app to shop with us, the collection of Personal Data will be subject to their privacy policies. 

 In some cases, you may have the option to link your loyalty account with us with an account you have with that third party. If you do so, we will typically receive details on your basket (what you ordered from our stores) and perhaps some basic demographic information (typically your name and contact information). But before this information gets sent to us, the third parties will usually inform you of what will be transferred, and you will have the choice to opt-in.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for delivery and pick-up services, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

eCommunity

Our eCommunity offers a friendly place for food lovers and home chefs to become inspired and engage with others to share, learn, gather, and act on ideas. You can sign in with your loyalty account or create a member account to check eCommunity out. 

We use your account details to administer our eCommunity program, which includes setting up and verifying your account and providing a forum where you can message, post comments and photos, attend events, and share your food journey and experiences. Be aware that anything you post or share on the eCommunity is public, meaning anyone accessing these areas may read, collect, and use the information you provide. If you don’t want it to be public, don’t post it.

You can also “share” or link content from our eCommunity to third-party sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, or share directly with your friends and family by email. If you interact with these third-party sites by sharing or posting, that information may become public, and the third-party sites may also gain knowledge about you and your participation in our eCommunity. Your availability and your activity on those third-party sites are governed by their privacy policy. If you ask us to share a link to interesting recipes or other content with your friends or family, we will send the information to the email addresses you provide.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for eCommunity, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Advertising

Purchase Based Advertising

We may use your purchase history and online interactions across websites that you visit and devices you use to predict your preferences and show you promotions and ads that are likely of interest to you. To provide relevant content and offers, we and our advertising partners use information collected from you to help us:

  • Recognize your computer as a previous visitor and save and remember any preferences that you may have while you were visiting one of our websites or a co-branded website.
  • Customize the content that you are shown while visiting our websites and potentially other websites.
  • Improve the quality and presentation of our content and websites.
  • Personalize your user experience. 

We also track, accumulate, and create reports related to our website and apps and measure the effectiveness of ads and content viewed on our websites or a co-branded website.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for advertising, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

 Third Party Promotions

We may provide third-party brands with the opportunity to promote their product or brand to you. When we display content from these third-party brands, we do so without revealing your identity. Let us explain. 

  • Third Party Brand puts together a list of desired demographics and interests for audiences they want to reach to sell a product or generally raise awareness about their product or company. 
  • We match that list against groupings we have created or can create about our customers. For example, customers who have purchased ketchup in the last 6 months. 
  • Once we find a match, we display the third-party's requested content to the selected audience. Because the content shown is based on a set of demographics and interests and not to specific individuals. These third-party brands do not know your identity.

The third-party brand may request a report to measure the effectiveness of the advertisement and content viewed on the website. That data is provided in an aggregated format and not reported out at the individual level. In other words, we would report that 75% viewed the ad, instead of John Smith and Jane Doe viewed the Ketchup ad.

We may allow companies that show advertisements on our websites or apps to collect information from your browsers or devices through cookies or other technologies. We may also work with third parties to help us better understand you, to help us personalize marketing to you, and to provide data analytic services.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for Third Party Promotions, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing

Cookies, Pixels & Other Trackers

These are not the delicious cookies we sell in our bakery, but a piece of code that lets us recognize you and your device(s) on, off, and across different services and devices where you interact with us or our ads. We also allow some third parties to use cookies on the ads and websites that we own. What does this mean? Cookies and similar technologies help us remember the website you've visited, help pre-fill information for you on forms and searches to make it easier for you, and help us deliver ads that are more relevant to you while letting us understand the effectiveness of those ads. 

But we understand that cookies (pixels and other trackers) aren't for everybody, and you have options. 

You may have noticed a message pop-up when you first visited our website. If you click to manage your settings, you can control what types of cookies you permit while you are browsing through our website. Now some are strictly necessary for our website to function, but there are others that you choose to turn on or off. You can also opt-out of cookies by going to your device settings for mobile apps, or you can opt-out of interest-based advertising for the web through the Digital Advertising Alliance's consumer choice tool at WebChoices: Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Choice Tool for Web US (aboutads.info). You can read more about opting out of interest-based ads at NAI Consumer Opt Out (networkadvertising.org) and opt-out of interest-based Google ads at Ad Settings (google.com).

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices cookies, pixels, and other trackers, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.

Mobile

Health and Wellness

Health and wellness and how to define success is your personal journey. To help along the way, we have created an app to support our customers and patients on their health and wellness path. For those who choose to use it, you start by creating an individual authenticated profile within the grocery app, which collects health, wellbeing, and similar information. But at a minimum, we require your height, weight, date of birth, gender, and other similar details to provide you with your wellness score. 

You can then choose to provide other details (or instruct wearable device operators or mobile app providers to provide additional details) such as certain contact information, health data, activity data, and information about your lifestyle to maximize the app and take advantage of other features (like earning rewards for your health and wellness path).

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for mobile, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing

Location

We may collect your location details to help you search for or provide you with the address of our nearest store or pharmacy. We may use your location to help you find products, navigate the store, or access free WiFi where those services are offered within our stores. 

Mobile devices often provide the ability to adjust settings related to location, so if you do not want us to collect specific location information, you can check your mobile device's setting to see if you can modify it.

For more information on our data collection, use, and sharing practices for mobile, see Data Collection, Data Use, and Data Sharing.
