Privacy and security are very important to us at Storelink. This End User Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is meant to help you (the “end user”) understand how we at Storelink collect, use, and share your data when you use Storelink products or services. For example, you may use Storelink to connect and share your data to power the applications (“apps”) you use. These apps, which offer many consumer services and products such as helping you manage your spending, identify eligible expenses, or keep track of items you buy, are built and provided by our business customers (“developers”), and powered by Cooklist Inc. DBA Storelink (“Storelink,” “we,” “our,” and “us”).

‍

First, Some Background

‍

Our mission at Storelink is to unlock personal data as an asset for everyone. By delivering access to high-quality, usable retail account data that we’ve translated and standardized, we enable developers of retail apps and services to focus on building experiences that benefit you.

‍

‍About this Policy

‍

Our goal with this Policy is to provide a simple and straightforward explanation of what data Storelink collects from and about you and how we use and share that information. We value transparency and want to provide you with a clear and concise description of how we treat your data.

‍

This Policy does not cover what developers of the apps you use do with your data. You should review the privacy policies or terms of service for those apps for information about their practices. This Policy also does not cover data we collect through our websites or when you interact with Storelink outside of using our product or services, such as emailing Storelink directly.
