The short version
You can browse this website without giving us your name, your email, or any payment information. There are no forms, no accounts, and no shopping cart here. We do use Google Analytics, through Google Tag Manager, to see how many people visit and which pages they read.
Cookies and analytics
This site loads Google Tag Manager, which in turn loads Google Analytics. Those services set cookies in your browser and collect information about your visit, including the pages you open, roughly how long you stay, the type of device and browser you use, and an approximate location based on your IP address.
We use this only to understand which parts of the site are useful, so we can improve them. We look at totals and trends, not at individual people, and we do not try to identify you from this data. Google processes it under its own privacy policy, which you can read atpolicies.google.com/privacy.
If you would rather not be measured, you can block cookies in your browser settings, browse in a private window, or install Google's official opt-out add-on attools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The website works exactly the same either way.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for, store, or sell names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details through this website, and we do not sell or rent any visitor data to anyone.
Like nearly every website, our hosting provider also keeps basic server logs (such as IP addresses and pages requested) for security and to keep the site running. We do not use those logs to identify individual visitors.
When you contact us
If you call us, send an email, or message us on WhatsApp, we receive whatever you choose to share so we can answer you. We use it for that purpose only. We do not add you to a mailing list and we do not pass your message to anyone outside the Mercado.
Links to other companies
Some buttons on this site take you to services we do not own. Once you leave, their rules apply instead of ours, and we have no control over what they collect:
- Grubhub and DoorDash, when you place a delivery or pickup order
- Google Maps, when you ask for directions, and Google Business, when you read or write a review
- Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, when you visit our profiles
- WhatsApp, when you start a chat with us
We recommend reading the privacy policy of each of those services before you use them.
Children
This site is meant for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. Since we do not collect personal information from anyone, we do not knowingly collect it from children either.
Your choices
We hold no personal data of yours from this website, so there is nothing for us to look up, correct, or delete. You can opt out of the analytics described above at any time using the options in that section. If you have sent us a message directly and would like us to delete it, contact us and we will.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add a contact form, an online store, analytics, or cookies to this site, we will update this page before turning them on and change the date at the top.
