To ensure you comply with them, we process your Personal Information by actively monitoring, investigating, preventing and mitigating any alleged or actual prohibited, illicit or illegal activities on our Services.

8. Session and Persistent Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the platform. As is commonly done on websites, we may use cookies and similar technology to keep track of our users and the services they have elected. We use both “session” and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are deleted after you leave our website and when you close your browser. We use data collected with session cookies to enable certain features on our Platform, to help us understand how users interact with our Platform, and to monitor at an aggregate level Site usage and web traffic routing. We may allow business partners who provide services to our Platform to place cookies on your computer that assist us in analyzing usage data. We do not allow these business partners to collect your personal information from our website except as may be necessary for the services that they provide.
9. Network Security
We care about keeping you secure and safe while using our Services. Keeping you safe requires us to process your Personal Information, such as your device information, activity information and other relevant information. We use such information to combat spam, malware, malicious activity or security risks; improve and enforce our security measures; and monitor and verify your identity so that unauthorized users do not gain access to your information.
10. Communications
When you use our services (for example on our Platform), complete electronic forms, communicate with NetMart or contact us, by online chat, email, phone or text, we may automatically collect and store certain information about you and the activity you engaged in, for example, your name and contact information; your order details; information that you voluntarily provide to us; the nature of your communication; the purpose of the interaction, and the action we took in response to your inquiry or request.
We also use your information to communicate with you. For example, we may send you text messages or other notifications about the status of your orders and deliveries. We may also contact you with promotional offerings or other communications that may be of interest to you. If we send you marketing emails or texts about services that may interest you, each email or text will contain instructions permitting you to “opt out” of receiving future email or text marketing communications.
In the event you contact us, we use certain information to respond to your questions and assist you with any issues that may arise in your use of the Services. If you send direct messages, such as chat or text messages to a Driver, using the telephone number for that Driver available on the Services, we may use a third-party service provider to monitor and analyze these messages. We monitor these messages for fraud prevention, to ensure appropriate charging of fees, to enforce our Terms and Conditions, and for quality and training purposes. As part of this process, NetMart and its service provider will receive in real-time and store data about your direct messages, such as chat or text messages, including the date and time of the text message, your phone number, and the message. If you do not agree with the monitoring of direct messages you send to Drivers, please do not send messages to Drivers.
11. Location Information
When you use the services, we may collect and store general location information (such as IP address). We may also collect route information and delivery pick-up or drop-off information. If you permit the services to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“Platform”) or browser, we may also collect and store the precise location of your device when the NetMart App is running in the foreground or background of your device. This information may be used to help you select your delivery address, to provide more accurate deliveries of your orders, provide recommendations to you, enhance your user experience and improve the services. You can choose whether to enable the location tracking feature through the settings on your device or Platform or when prompted by the NetMart mobile app. If you choose to disable the location feature, the delivery man will not receive precise location information from your device, which may compromise the accuracy of deliveries in some situations, for instance, if you are located in a large area, such as a park.
12. Web Beacons
We may also use web beacons or similar technology to help us track the effectiveness of our communications. Web beacons, also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Platform to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Platform and Services, monitor how many web visitors we have, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an email)
13. Provide You with the Services
We use your information to provide you with the Services. For example, we use credit card information to complete a transaction or an address to allow the Driver to fulfill your delivery (if you are a User), or your name and phone number to set up your business on the Services (if you are a Seller). If the applicable information is to be provided or the Service is to be performed by a third party, then we will disclose the applicable Personal Information to the third party providing the information for performing the applicable Services. Your information may be available or provided to third-party or service providers that are contractually obligated to protect your information as disclosed in this Policy. Payment information may be shared with your bank to validate your payment card.

15. Mobile Applications
Depending on your permissions, we may receive your Personal Information from your Internet service and mobile device providers. Users of mobile devices who do not want to receive interest-based advertising may opt out in several ways. Each operating system, (iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You should view your device or system “Settings” to determine how you can opt out of the use of your device ID for “cross-app” personalized advertising.
16. Permitted by Law
We recognize that information related to your orders could contain private information. However, we may be required to provide your information to third parties including law enforcement agencies when required to protect and defend our legal rights, protect the safety and security of users of our Services, prevent fraud, comply with the law, respond to legal process, or a request for cooperation by a government entity, and the like.
