Effective: November 16, 2020
1. Introduction and scope
This Privacy Statement describes how Toast, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “Toast”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”) collects and manages your personal information (i.e. any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual) as part of providing our Services (defined below). This Statement primarily covers:
Merchant Employees: employees of our Merchants that use the Services; and
Guests: individuals that use the Services at one of our Merchant’s restaurants or directly through Toast.
In addition to the groups above, this Statement also covers individuals that visit our websites, including https://pos.toasttab.com (referred to generally as our “Websites”) and our third-party business partners.
Please note that certain locations where we operate have laws that require us to share specific privacy information and practices with individuals in those locations. To that end, this Privacy Statement is comprised of two sections – a generally applicable statement and a location-specific addendum. Where there are variations for a specific location or additional information that is required to be provided under the applicable country or state law, individuals in that location can refer to the applicable addendum. Links to the pertinent sections, can be found below:
Please note that our Merchants are independent third parties that maintain their own business practices and policies outside of their relationship with Toast and their use of the Services. As a result, unless provided otherwise in this Statement, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or data practices of our Merchants, who may maintain separate policies and practices. If you are a Merchant Employee, your employer is responsible for providing any additional required notices or information to you regarding its privacy practices outside of this Statement.
By using the Services and/or providing us with your personal information, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed and used in the manner set out in this Privacy Statement. We may amend this Statement from time to time in line with the “Updates to this Privacy Statement” section below. To the extent permitted by law, your continued use of the Services and Websites constitutes your acceptance to those amendments and the updated Statement.
2. Definitions

7. Cookies and other tracking technologies
Toast, as well as third parties described in this Statement may use cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies as part of providing the Services and for the purposes described in this Statement. This includes:
Cookies: A small text file placed and saved in your browser when you access our Websites and potentially the websites of our Merchants, business partners and other third parties. We use both session cookies (i.e. cookies that are stored only for a specific website visit) and persistent cookies (i.e. cookies that are stored beyond a specific website visit) to provide the Services and for the purposes described in this Statement. These cookies may be set by us (first party cookies) or set by third parties that collect information on our behalf (third party cookies), such as Google Analytics.
Web beacons: A small graphic file placed on a website (or websites) or email that tracks your activity and monitors your behavior. We use web beacons within our Services to collect usage and performance data.
As part of using the Services, we use these technologies as well as similar technologies within our Services and across our Websites. Examples include:
to provide our Services (e.g. authentication within the check-out process);
to uniquely identify you and/or your device;
to store your preferences as part of providing the Services;
for personalization and targeted advertising purposes (including across your devices and applications);
for security and fraud-prevention purposes;
to analyze and monitor the performance of our Services;
to improve and develop new Services; and
to understand your use of the Services over time.
There are ways to control and/or reject the setting of cookies and similar technologies within your browser settings. As each browser is different, please consult the “help” menu within your browser. For additional information about cookies and how to control their use on various browsers and devices, you can visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. Please be aware that depending on the Services being used, restricting cookies may prevent you from accessing and using all or part of the Services.
Your choices about online ads
We support the self-regulatory principles for online advertising (“Principles”) published by the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). This means that we allow you to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites for online interest-based advertising purposes. More information about these Principles can be found at www.aboutads.info. If you want to opt out of receiving online interest-based advertisements on your internet browser from advertisers and third parties that participate in the DAA program and perform advertising-related services for us and our partners, please follow the instructions at www.aboutads.info/choices, or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ to place an opt-out cookie on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertisements. Opt-out cookies only work on the internet browser and device they are downloaded onto. If you want to opt out of interest-based advertisements across all your browsers and devices, you will need to opt out on each browser on each device you actively use. If you delete cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt out again. If you want to opt out of receiving online interest-based advertisements on mobile applications, please follow the instructions at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our online services. It means that the online ads that you do see from DAA program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, third parties may still use cookies to collect information about your use of our online services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the DAA’s Principles.
Do not track
We may use, and we may allow third-party service providers and other third parties to use, cookies or other technologies on our Services that collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Services. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. We currently do not respond to DNT signals. We may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Statement from web browsers that have enabled DNT signals or similar mechanisms.
8. Your rights and choices
Managing your information
We want to ensure that you have the necessary tools at your disposal to manage your personal information. It is also important that you ensure that you information is accurate and up to date. Your ability to update and manage your personal information will differ depending on your relationship with Toast and what Services you use. For example,
As a Merchant, for certain services, you may access, change or correct certain account information at any time by logging into your account. In other instances, please contact our customer success team.
As a Merchant Employee using the Toast Payroll and Team Management module, you have the ability in many cases to access and update your information through the Services. In other instances, please reach out to your Merchant Employer.
As a Guest, depending on the Services you use, you may be able to access, change and update your information through an account created as part of the Services (e.g. a Digital Ordering Account). If you are a Guest and would like to have your account deleted or have other questions about your Digital Ordering Account, please contact support@toasttakeout.zendesk.com.
In other instances, if applicable, see the instructions provided as part of the Services or contact us as described in the “How to contact us” section of this Statement. We may need to verify your identity before changing or correcting your information. In certain instances, we may not be able to make the correction or accommodate the request due to legal, contractual or technical restrictions.
Please note that depending on your status and location, you may be entitled to additional information rights in relation to the processing of your personal information. For more information regarding these rights, and the locations where these rights are available, please see the applicable addendums in this Statement.
Managing communications
As part of providing the Services, Toast (whether directly or through a third party), may send you:
Marketing communications: Depending on the nature of our relationship and the Services being used, we may send you marketing and other promotional communications. You can opt out of or unsubscribe from any marketing communications by following the instructions in those messages, by changing your communications preferences within your account or through your device. You can also opt out by contacting us at privacy@toasttab.com. Opting out of one communication will not necessarily opt you out of all marketing communications. Please note that you may still receive certain non-marketing communications after opting out. These messages may include transaction-specific communications, messages as part of a loyalty program or account-specific communications.
In certain cases, our Merchants may also send you marketing and promotional communications as part of the Services, including when you visit a Merchant using Toast or join a Merchant-specific loyalty program. In these instances, please follow the instructions within those messages or reach out to the Merchant directly.
Other communications: As part of your interaction with our Services, you may receive various non-marketing communications from Toast. These include:
sending you digital receipts via email or by text message;
notifications sent by Merchants as part of our Services, such as order status, delivery or pick up notifications;
responding to feedback that you have provided in relation to the Services of Toast or one of our Merchants;
account or program-specific messages as part of your use of the Services (e.g. loyalty accounts with our Merchants or by setting up a Digital Ordering Account); or
messages associated with contests, competitions or promotions that you have elected to participate in.
For additional information about how we communicate with you, please contact us at privacy@toasttab.com.
9. Security
We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, damage or loss. However, even though we have taken measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that the collection, transmission and storage of personal information will always be completely secure.
10. Links to other websites
This Privacy Statement only applies to information collected when visiting our Websites or otherwise using our Services. While visiting our Websites or using the Services, you may be directed through links to third-party websites or services that are not operated or controlled by us. For example, the websites of our Merchants or business partners that provide services as part of this Statement. We are not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of these third parties. As a result, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites as their practices may differ from ours.
11. Children
Our Services are not targeted or directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Statement to request that we remove the information from our systems. If we learn that any personal information we collected has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal information.
We do, however, process personal information about children when it is necessary for the services we are offering, and you provide it to us. For example, if you are a Merchant Employee, we may collect information relating to children if your employer is using the Toast Payroll and Team Management module and you add them as dependents under your benefits policies.

1. Privacy Statement for California Residents as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).
The provisions below supplement the information provided in the generally applicable portion of our Privacy Statement and apply solely to individuals that are residents of California and qualify as a “Consumer” under the CCPA. This California-specific Statement provides additional information about how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process the personal information of these individuals, either online or offline, within the scope of the CCPA. Any terms defined in the CCPA or as otherwise defined in our Privacy Statement have the same meaning as used in this addendum.
When we use the term “personal information” in this Statement, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
A. CCPA personal information table
The below table summarizes:
The categories of personal information collected by Toast in the past 12 months;
The sources of collection of the personal information;
How we use your personal information; and

For legal, compliance and security-related purposes

B. Categories of personal information sold
Toast does not “sell” personal information as most individuals would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party advertising partners to collect information about Consumers through our Services for purposes of serving ads that are more relevant and other personalization features, for tracking and analytics, and for fraud detection and reporting. The categories of personal information impacted may include:
Identifiers;
Internet/Network Information; and
Inferences.
Each of the above categories of information may be disclosed to our third-party service providers or business partners depending on the nature of a user’s interaction. To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see our Privacy Statement section titled “Cookies and other tracking technologies” for more information including how to exercise your rights to opt-out of cookies, analytics and personalized advertising. To the extent that these practices qualify as “sales” under the CCPA, you may have the right to opt out as described in the “How to invoke your rights” section below. Toast has no actual knowledge that the “sales” described above include the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
C. Description of rights available to Consumers
A number of individual rights are available to individuals under the CCPA relating to personal information that we have collected (subject to certain limitations at law), including:
The right of access: you have the right to request that an in-scope business that collects personal information from you, disclose the following in relation to the preceding 12 month period, upon verification of your identity: (i) the categories of personal information collected about you, (ii) the categories of sources where the personal information was collected, (iii) the business or commercial purposes for collecting (or where applicable, selling) the personal information, (iv) the categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for a business purpose along with the corresponding recipients, (v) the categories of personal information we have sold along with the corresponding recipients, and (vi) the specific pieces of personal information collected about you.
The right of deletion: you have the right to request that an in-scope business delete personal information that it has collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
The right to opt out of personal information sales: you have the right to request that an in-scope business refrain from selling personal information it has collected about you to third parties now or in the future. If you are under the age of 16, you have the right to opt in, or to have a parent or guardian opt in on your behalf, to such sales.
The right against discrimination: you have the right to not be discriminated against as a result of exercising any of the above rights. However, please note that if the exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you with our Services or engage with you in the same manner.
Please note that your ability to invoke the rights above are limited pursuant to the scope and limitations of the CCPA, including any available exceptions. For example, an access request can only be made twice by a Consumer within a 12 month period.
D. How to invoke your rights
Toast has established an individual rights portal for the purposes of submitting your individual rights requests above. The link to Toast’s individual rights portal can be found here. Individual rights requests can also be submitted to Toast through the below channels:
By phone (toll-free): +1 (866) 226-4484
Once an individual rights request has been submitted, Toast may ask you for additional information in order to verify your identity or to provide additional details to help us respond to your request. This may include your name, email address, phone number or other details related to your use of Toast’s Services. Where applicable, these requests can be submitted by an authorized agent through the channels described above in accordance with the applicable law. Please note that in certain circumstances, we may refuse to act or impose limitations on your rights, as permitted by the applicable law.
As noted above, we do not “sell” personal information as traditionally defined, but certain third-party advertising practices may qualify as "sales" under the CCPA. To the extent applicable, an opt-out mechanism has been provided in the "Categories of personal information sold" section above. You may also exercise your right to opt out of any sales outside this scope by clicking here. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your right to opt out of personal information sales. However, if applicable, we may ask you to provide additional personal information so that we can properly identify you in our dataset and to track compliance with your opt out request. We will only use personal information provided in an opt out request to review and comply with the request. If you choose not to provide this information, we may only be able to process your request to the extent we are able to identify you in our systems. Once you make an opt-out request, you may change your mind and opt back in to future personal information sales at any time by contacting us at privacy@toasttab.com.
E. Updates to this Statement
We will update this Statement from time to time. When we make changes to this Statement, we will change the "Last updated" date at the beginning of this Statement. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided in the notification.
2. California “Shine the Light” disclosure
California residents that have an established business relationship with us have a right to know how their information is disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civ. Code § 1798.83). Please contact us through any of the communication channels within the “How to contact us” section in the main body of this Statement to invoke these rights.

A. Consent
By using our Services and accessing our Websites, you accept the terms of this Privacy Statement and consent to the collection, use, processing, disclosure and retention of your information as described in this Privacy Statement.

In your request, please specify what information you would like to access or have changed. We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. The exercise of these rights is free of charge.

This may include your name, email address, phone number or other details related to your use of Toast’s Services or Websites.
Please note that in certain circumstances, we may refuse to act or impose limitations on your rights, as permitted by the applicable law.

We will also retain information relating to your request for recordkeeping and compliance purposes.
