PURPOSE FOR USING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Below we explain the main purposes for which we use your personal information
and the legal basis for processing your data:

Profile Data

Your Profile Data may be used to assist you when you contact User support, to
direct your inquiry appropriately, and follow-up to ensure the inquiry has been
satisfied.

We may share your Profile Data with our restaurants for the purpose of managing
the relationship with you, including to fulfil your order and at pick up. This
may include sharing your photo, if you have chosen to upload one. The restaurant
that is fulfilling your order can use your photo to verify your identity. It may
also include sharing specifics about customer reviews and complaints with our
restaurants.

We may share your Profile and Transaction Data with partner apps should you
choose to register and access Ritual through those apps. The purpose is to
improve our Service and manage our relationship with you.  

Ritual may also share with our restaurants analytics on App usage and customer
trends, including first name and last initial of the top customers of the month,
for example, for promotional purposes. We do not share your contact information
with our restaurants without your express consent.

Our legal basis for processing this information includes:

 * consent
 * performance of a contract with you
 * our legitimate interest to communicate with our restaurants about trends in
   user uptake of Ritual services with their restaurant, and to help us and our
   restaurants improve services with our users

Contact Data

Your Contact Data may be used to assist you when you contact user support,
direct your inquiry appropriately, and to follow-up to ensure the inquiry has
been satisfied. This may include sharing specifics about customer reviews and
complaints with our restaurants.

Your Contact Data may also be used to facilitate order fulfilment and pick up,
communicate with you about your activity, our Service, your account, and, if we
have your prior consent, about Ritual news, special offers, and events. We may
also contact you about studies and surveys, if you have permitted us to do so.

We may communicate with you via text message for various reasons. Standard text
message and data rates may apply. If you wish to stop receiving text messages
from Ritual, respond to one of our text message with the word ‘STOP’.

Our legal basis for processing this information includes:

 * consent
 * performance of a contract with you
 * our legitimate interest to contact you about our Services and your account
   information

Team Data

Ritual offers corporate meal plans and team ordering features. These features
enable multiple users to place group orders with a restaurant that one member of
the team picks up for the rest.

When you join a team, including if you form a private team, Ritual collects
information from you and/or your team members to provide our Service. We use
Team Data to notify teams when new members join. We also enable and collect the
sharing of team photos, team posts and discussions, and other details about how
your team interacts.

When you offer to pick-up for your team, Ritual will send your offer to your
team using one or more channels including, but not limited to, in-App offers,
push notifications, posts to team collaboration software or social networks. The
Restaurant may also receive some Team Data, such as team members, orders, and
frequency of use with their restaurant.

Our legal basis for processing this information includes:

 * our legitimate interest to facilitate fulfillment of your order, ease of
   communication between team members, provide relevant suggestions to you and
   others on the team, and to personalize and improve your experience with our
   Service

Financial Data

Financial Data is used to process payments for your orders. Your full payment
details are provided to a third-party payment processing provider. We do not
receive or retain your full financial information.

Information that you supply to our payment processing provider is not within our
control and is subject to the provider's own privacy policy and terms and
conditions. We may change our payment processing providers from time to time and
will update this Privacy Policy to reflect such changes.

Our legal basis for processing this information includes:

 * performance of a contract with you
 * our legitimate interest to fulfill order and prevent fraud

Location Data

Location Data is used to facilitate order fulfilment and pick up, show you
restaurants near you, personalize our marketing content to you, and offer you
local promotions and discounts, where applicable.

Location Data is also used to address user or restaurant support, technical, or
business issues that may arise in the course of your use of the Services.

Your location allows us to gauge walking distance to inform when an order should
be placed. Depending on which other products or services you use, we may also
collect your precise or approximate location through your IP address or Wi-Fi.
For example, this can help with team orders to approximate when food will be
delivered.

We collect location information when our App is running in the foreground (i.e.
when you are actively using the App). If our App is running in the background,
we will only collect your location information when it is required for the
fulfilment of your order. For example, if you have an order in progress, our
geo-location tracking will stop once your order is complete.

In some circumstances such as when you are using the Website, you may use Ritual
without enabling us to track your location. Doing so may affect the
functionality available to you. For example, we would not be able to connect you
to restaurants near you.

We may also combine your Profile Data with your Location Data or with other
third-party data to draw inferences about where you work.

Our legal basis for processing this information includes:

 * our legitimate interest to prevent fraud, improve our services and provide
   appropriate support services to you, improve our business
 * our legitimate interest to provide administration and IT services, network
   security, and to maintain the technical operations of our services

   your order and Profile Data may be shared with our restaurants for the
   purpose of fulfilling your order
 * to credit your Ritual Reward account and otherwise for administering the
   loyalty program
 * for internal analytical and business improvement purposes

Restaurants have access to your order history to improve services delivered to
you.

Our legal basis for processing this information includes:

 * consent
 * performance of a contract with you
 * our legitimate interest to provide relevant offers to you, understand how you
   use our services, grow our business and to inform our business and marketing
   strategies

Browsing Data

Browsing Data may be used to:

 * personalize our services and communications. Personalization features may
   include showing you recommendations while content features include allowing
   you to share reviews, ratings, tags, and discussions;

changing your settings via the settings page of your mobile device.

Ritual may use content you submit such as aggregate ratings, comments, or photos
to make recommendations to other Users and to facilitate the operations of our
business.

Ritual may also allow users to communicate with others on their teams or with
Restaurants. These messages, should you choose to participate, may be accessible
to members of your team or restaurants and by us. Ritual may also allow
restaurants to communicate with users. For example, a restaurant may contact you
directly if there is a problem with your order.

The Website and the App may offer publicly accessible blogs and community
forums. We will use your personal information such as your name, email address,
the messages or content you choose to post to administer and provide you with
these services.

Only where we have your prior consent to do so, Ritual may also use your Contact
Data to send you general updates regarding Ritual news, special offers,
promotions, and contests.

If you have entered your information into one of our in-store devices, we may
follow up with you regarding your inquiry. We may also display tailored
advertisements on third-party websites and other platforms. If you do not wish
to receive direct marketing communications from Ritual, you can adjust your
email preferences in the App or by clicking the unsubscribe link in our email
message to you.

Even if you opt-out of receiving direct marketing, we may still send you
non-promotional messages to administer your account and/or for purposes of

password that allows you to access our Website or App, you are responsible for
keeping this password confidential. We strongly recommend that you do not share
your password with anyone.

links to third-party websites as a convenience. These links are not intended as
an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites.

The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices
and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. We do not have any
control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability
for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may
collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat your personal information.

practices. If we make any material changes to this policy, we will notify you by
