III. Data collections and uses
A. The data we collect
ZonFoods collects personal data:
provided by users to ZonFoods, such as during account creation
created during use of our services, such as location, app usage, and device data
from other sources, such as other users or account owners, business partners, vendors and financial solution providers, and governmental authorities
The following personal data is collected by or on behalf of ZonFoods:
1. Data provided by users. This includes:
User profile: We collect data when users create or update their Uber accounts. This may include their name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, profile picture, payment or banking information

insurance information of drivers and delivery persons, emergency contact information, user settings, and evidence of health or fitness to provide services using ZonFoods apps.
Background check and identity verification (delivery persons). This may include information such as driver history or criminal record (where permitted by law), license status, known aliases and prior addresses, and right to work.
This information may be collected by an authorized vendor on ZonFoods’s behalf. We also verify the identities of delivery recipients who request alcohol delivery.
Demographic data: We may collect demographic data about users, including through user surveys. In some countries, we may also receive demographic data about users from third parties.
User content: We collect the data submitted by users when they contact ZonFoods customer support, provide ratings or compliments for other users, ZonCookers, ZonGrocers or any others merchants, or otherwise contact ZonFoods. This may

Location data (delivery recipients). We collect delivery recipients’ precise or approximate location data to enable and enhance use of our apps, including to improve pick-ups, facilitate deliveries, enable safety features, and prevent

We collect such data from users’ mobile devices if they enable us to do so. ZonFoods collects such data from the time a delivery is requested until it is finished (and may indicate such collection via an icon or notification on your
mobile device depending on your device’s operating system), and any time the app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) of their mobile device.
Delivery recipients may use the ZonFoods apps without enabling Uber to collect precise location data from their mobile devices. However, this may affect features in the apps. For example, a user who has not enabled location data
collection will have to manually enter their pick-up address.
