Privacy Policy
Toast is dedicated to safeguarding your privacy and to building tools that make your online experience both powerful and secure. This Privacy Statement covers the Toast website and explains how we gather and use data. By visiting the Toast site, you agree to the practices outlined here.
Information We Collect About You
Toast gathers personally identifiable details such as your email address, name, home or work address, and phone number. We also collect anonymous demographic data that is not unique to you, including ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.
Toast also automatically records certain details about your computer hardware and software. This may include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. Toast uses this data to run the service, keep its quality high, and compile general statistics about how the Toast website is used.
Keep in mind that if you voluntarily share personally identifiable or sensitive information on Toast public message boards, others may collect and use it. Please note that Toast does not read your private online communications.
We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any websites you reach through links from Toast so you understand how those sites collect, use, and share your information. Toast is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside the Toast and Toast family of sites.
How We Use Your Information
Toast collects and uses your personal information to run the Toast website and provide the services you request. We also use your personally identifiable information to tell you about other products or services offered by Toast and its affiliates. From time to time, Toast may contact you through surveys to gather your feedback on current services or on potential new services.
Toast does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. Occasionally, Toast may contact you on behalf of external business partners about an offering that might interest you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, phone number) is not passed to the third party. Toast may also share data with trusted partners who help us with statistical analysis, email or postal mail delivery, customer support, or arranging deliveries. These third parties may not use your personal information for anything other than providing services to Toast, and they must keep your information confidential.
Toast will not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Toast tracks the websites and pages our customers visit within Toast to determine which Toast services are most popular. This data helps us deliver customized content and advertising within Toast to customers whose behavior suggests an interest in a particular subject area.
Toast websites will disclose your personal information without notice only when required by law or when we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Toast or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Toast; and (c) act under urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Toast users or the public.
How We Use Cookies
The Toast website uses "cookies" to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that a web page server places on your hard disk. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Each cookie is uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued it.
One main purpose of cookies is to save you time through added convenience. A cookie tells the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Toast pages or register with the Toast site or services, a cookie helps Toast recall your specific information on later visits. This makes it easier to record your personal details, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and more. When you return to the same Toast website, the information you provided earlier can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Toast features you customized.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can usually adjust your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. If you decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Toast services or websites you visit.
How We Protect Your Information
Toast protects your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Toast stores the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment that is safeguarded against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is sent to other websites, it is protected by encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Updates to This Statement
Toast will update this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect company and customer feedback. We encourage you to review this Statement periodically so you stay informed about how Toast is protecting your information.
