COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IN STORES OR OVER THE TELEPHONE

If you use a debit or credit card for any of your purchases, Mama Supermarket Ltd. transmits directly to our payment processor the payment card information necessary to complete each transaction. As a general rule, we do not collect or retain full payment card data. But we may receive from the processor, and retain for our records, some truncated form of the payment card data, which may be used to help locate a prior purchase in connection with a request to return an item or to provide a refund or exchange, as well as for analysis and to comply with laws requiring Mama Supermarket Ltd. to retain financial records of its activities.

If you return previously purchased merchandise or request a refund or exchange, especially without a receipt, you may be asked to verify your identity and to provide your name and/or other identification information for our records. Mama Supermarket Ltd. collects this information for loss prevention purposes, including the detection and prevention of fraud and theft.

Similarly, if you have made a purchase through our websites for pick up at a Mama Supermarket Ltd. store, you or the person you’ve authorized to make the pick-up may be asked to provide your driver’s license or other form of identification at the store for authentication purposes – but we do not record or retain this information. This process is used for loss prevention purposes.

If you qualify for a tax exemption, Mama Supermarket Ltd. will collect the personal information necessary to document the exemption and satisfy the applicable taxing authorities, as well as to help identify you and retrieve your tax exempt status when you make future purchases, so that you aren’t required to repeatedly provide the same information.

Mama Supermarket Ltd. may conduct video surveillance and recording of its stores and other premises for security, loss prevention, and safety purposes, and to monitor in-store traffic patterns, customer counts and interests, and perform similar analytics. Where video surveillance is used, recordings are kept in a secure area. Mama Supermarket Ltd. policies limit access to any video surveillance to appropriate personnel, such as loss prevention employees and management. Video surveillance recordings are routinely destroyed unless they are needed for investigations of an incident or legal proceedings.

If you telephone Mama Supermarket Ltd. to make an inquiry, request information, provide a compliment, make a complaint, or for any other reason, Mama Supermarket Ltd. may ask for personal information in order to assist you. For example, Mama Supermarket Ltd. may collect your contact information so that it can later respond to you. Mama Supermarket Ltd. may also ask for information about the product or service that you purchased or about which you have expressed an interest so that it can process your inquiry and provide you with an opportunity to learn about other products or services that may be of interest to you. Calls to or from customer service centers or other phone support lines may be monitored or recorded for quality control, training, security, and analytics purposes.
