How we collect information
Information provided by your web browser
The public section of our website is primarily an information website that tells you about SpartanNash and our products and services. You do not need to provide any personal information if you simply want to browse the public section of our website and learn about our products and our services. Like many other websites, we may record information that your web browser routinely shares, such as your browser type, browser language, software and hardware attributes, the date and time of your visit, the website from which you came, the geographical location of the Internet Protocol address and the pages on this website that you visit. This will generally be anonymous data that we collect on an aggregate basis. We will not try to associate anonymous data with the personal information that you provide to us, except to investigate apparent fraud or a threat to our website, our business or our users.
Personal information that you provide
We may also collect personal information that you choose to provide to us on a voluntary basis. When we ask for your personal information, it is so that we can provide a product or service to you and communicate with you about those products and services. For example, if you want to apply for a job with SpartanNash or one of its affiliates, you can register and submit an application on this website. It will always be your choice whether to provide your personal information in order to take advantage of these features.
We may also offer certain social networking features on this website, such as the opportunity to post comments or opinions about our products and services. If you choose to submit your comments or opinions, keep in mind that these will be available to the general public and are not subject to any privacy.
The Insite section of the website is only available to our wholesale customers, vendors, brokers distributors and DSD vendors. In order to establish access to the Insite section, we require personal information associated with your account. This will generally include your name, the company that you work for and your contact information. In order to make purchases, SpartanNash may also need credit card or bank account information. If you are a registered Insite user, we may give you the opportunity to sign up to receive a newsletter or other materials about our products and services.
Additional information collected from mobile devices
We may also operate a version of this website specifically designed to work with mobile devices. The mobile website may include a feature that uses geographic location information provided by your mobile device to identify stores in your vicinity. We do not collect or store your geographic information except to temporarily provide this service.
Use of Cookies and Similar Technology
Tracking on our own website
As is commonly done on websites, we may use cookies and similar technology to keep track of our users and the services they have elected. A “cookie” is a small text file containing alphanumeric characters that is stored on your computer and uniquely identifies your browser. If you are simply browsing on our website, the cookies that we use last only about as long as your session on our website; but if you have created a user name and account, we will also use cookies that remain on your computer between visits so that when you return to our website we can remember who you are and your preferences.
We may allow business partners who provide services to our website to place cookies on your computer that assist us in analyzing usage data. We do not allow these business partners to collect your personal information from our website except as may be necessary for the services that they provide.
You can manage these cookies. For example, you can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you disable cookies, however, it may interfere with the functionality of our website and you may not be able to use all of the website’s features.
We may also use web beacons or similar technology to help us track the effectiveness of our communications. A web beacon (also known as an action tag, a clear gif or pixel tag) is a1x1 pixel image embedded in a website page used to transparently collect information. For example, we may use a web beacon to count the number of visits to the pages of our website. If you have signed up to receive any of our e-mail newsletters, we use similar technology to count how many recipients have opened the message and clicked on one of its links.
We may offer a version of this website specifically designed to work with a mobile device. If so, we may store information relevant to your use of the mobile website on your device’s local storage.
Tracking by advertising services
We contract with our business partner Google to serve ads on our website. Google uses DoubleClick cookies and web beacons to make our advertising more effective. Google may use such technology to serve ads based on your prior visit to our website and/or other websites on the Intranet. If you access this website using a mobile device, Google may use anonymous identifiers if the device does not accept cookies. We do not share your personal information with Google. You can learn more about how Google uses the DoubleClick cookies by visiting Google’s Policies & Principles. You may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the ads preference manager.
We use third party advertising services to place our advertisements on other websites. If you click on one of these ads, the company that placed the ad may use cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technology to gather statistics on the effectiveness of our advertisements, to track your movement across websites, and to serve you advertisements targeted to your interests. Except as noted above with respect to Google, we do not permit these advertising services to place cookies from our website. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out of such advertising from certain companies at www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for websites) or www.aboutads.info/appchoices (for mobile applications).
What We Do With the information We Collect
We will generally use the information that we collect to help us operate this website, to provide requested services, to help us understand our customers and their preferences, and to market products and services to you in which we believe you may be interested. The following provides a more specific discussion of our uses and disclosures of the information that we collect.
Your contact information
When you provide us with your contact information, we will use that information to provide services related to this website. For example, if you submit a job application or register for an event on our careers website through this website, we will share that information with our Human Resources department, which will use the information to contact candidates for our open positions or other communications. If you submit your name and telephone number or e-mail address because you are interested in our products and services, someone in our sales department will contact you to follow up on your interest.
If you register on our careers website, we give you the option to add your e-mail address to one or more e-mail lists. You may change your preferences or opt out of all e-mails at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link found at the bottom of each e-mail.
We maintain a database about our job applicants and website users that allows us to (i) analyze and monitor consumer and customer activity, (ii) promote and support our products and services, and (iii) develop a knowledge base regarding our website users and customers.
We may combine the individually identifiable information that we collect from this website with information collected through any other programs that we may run from time to time. For example, if you have signed up to receive e-mail messages regarding job opportunities, we may use information from the careers website to deliver company news updates tailored to your interests in SpartanNash.
Business Information
If you use the Insite section of our website to order products, we will use the information that you submit to process your order, receive payment and ship your transaction. This may require us to share information with third parties, such as your financial institution, the company that processes our credit card transactions or an organization involved in shipping your order. We may also contact the registered users of the Insite section about important functionality changes to the website, new services and special offers.
The Insite section may include tools that you may find helpful. To use these tools, you may need to provide information about your business. The website will use your information to provide the service that the tool offers, for example to help you order products for your business.
Information shared with our service providers
To improve the products and services offered, we may use third party service providers to help us design and operate our website or provide other services to support the website. For example, we may hire a company to run certain website applications, help us fulfill or deliver orders, process credit card payments, or help us analyze data. Unless otherwise indicated on our website, if we allow our service providers to access the personal information we collect, it will be for limited purposes and in compliance with this privacy policy. If you are an Insite section user, we may give you the option to share information with vendors whose goods we carry so that they can send you information about products or services in which you are interested.
