Information Collection

While operating its business, Publix collects a range of personal information. Customers may be able to use some of the Services or conduct in-store business without providing any personal information. However, to take advantage of certain features, offerings, or other functions available in stores or on the Services, customers may be asked or required to provide personal information.

Customers can always choose not to provide the requested information; however, choosing not to provide such information may limit the ability to engage in certain in-store transactions or access or use certain features or functions of the Services.

Publix may also receive information about you from other sources, including third parties that help them:

The information received from these sources may include, but is not limited to:

Use of Mobile Applications

Customers may be able to use Publix's mobile applications to scan barcodes or take images of products or prescription bottles in order to create shopping lists or conduct transactions. To do so, the mobile applications may request permission to access your camera and photo files.

Publix may also use technologies to determine if you are shopping in one of their stores by relying on signals transmitted by your mobile devices. This information is collected to provide customers with services, content, and offers based on their location. For example, Publix may use its mobile applications to provide you with the location of nearby stores and deals available in those stores.

To opt out of the collection of precise location or presence information, customers can adjust the permissions on their mobile device or uninstall the mobile applications. Publix has no control over your device’s settings.

Information Sharing

Publix may combine the information collected from customers with information that they collect from other sources. They may share personal information with their service providers, who use that information to perform technology, business, or other professional functions on their behalf, including but not limited to:

Hosting the Services
Delivering transactional communications
Fulfilling orders
Processing payments

If customers post comments, pictures, or other content via public forums that may be available on the Services, that information may be publicly available. The information may be searchable by search engines and copied or republished by third parties, over whom Publix has no control.

Customer Choices

Publix offers customers certain choices about what information they collect from them, how they use and disclose the information, and how they communicate with them.

Third-Party Links and Content

The Services may contain links to content or integrated content (like embedded videos) provided by third parties. The information practices of those third parties may differ from ours. You should consult the privacy policies of any third party that provides content that you access through the Services as Publix does not control and are not responsible for the information that they collect, use, or share.

International Considerations
