What Instamart: Groceries & more does with your data

Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.

Instamart: Groceries & more’s own policy says “We may share your information with our vendors, consultants, marketing partners, Retail Pharmacies, Medical Practitioners, delivery partners, research firms and other service providers, business partners, payment processing companies, for the purposes listed above.”
Our summary shares information with vendors, marketing partners, pharmacies, medical practitioners, delivery partners and payment processors; separately discloses sharing with partner restaurants/merchants, with advertisers and advertising networks, with academic partners, with third-party AI service providers, and with any present or future member of its Group for internal business purposes.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.

Instamart: Groceries & more’s own policy says “These third parties may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you.”
Our summary works with network advertisers who use cookies and tracking technologies to personalise advertising content to the user; separately states it uses information to deliver advertising and measure its effectiveness, and that the user cannot opt out of advertising on the Platforms.
-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.
Show me where they say that
Instamart: Groceries & more’s own policy says “These entities may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs and other technologies to identify your device when you visit the Platforms and use our Services, as well as when you visit other online sites and services.”
Our summary permits third-party audience measurement and advertising firms to identify the user's device both on the Platforms and when the user visits other online sites and services; also states analytics companies may use mobile device IDs to track usage.
-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.
Show me where they say that
Instamart: Groceries & more’s own policy says “We may, however, retain and store your personal information in anonymized or aggregated form, for as long as necessary, and use it as permitted under applicable law, including for analytics, improving our products and services, and other business purposes.”
Our summary after a withdrawal-of-consent or deletion request, retains personal information in anonymised or aggregated form for as long as necessary with no stated end date; also states that its use and disclosure of aggregated/de-identified information is not restricted by the policy and may be disclosed to others without limitation.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Instamart: Groceries & more’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.

Can I withdraw my consent from Instamart: Groceries & more?
Section 6(4) of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 gives you the right to withdraw consent for processing you agreed to.
