Data Security

The security of your personal data is a top priority for Monro. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
  • Data Minimization: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to keep your login credentials confidential.

Data Retention

Monro retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our retention periods are determined by:

  • Contractual Obligations: As long as you have an active account with Monro.

Once the retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized. If data cannot be deleted due to technical reasons, we will ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent any further processing or use of the data.

International Data Transfers

As Monro operates globally, your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence, including countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. This includes transfers to our service providers and affiliates located in various jurisdictions.

When transferring your data internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. This may include:

  • Transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the relevant authorities (e.g., European Commission adequacy decisions).
  • Implementing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other relevant authorities.
  • Relying on your explicit consent for specific transfers.

Children's Privacy

Monro's Services are strictly not intended for individuals under the age of 18 (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a person under the legal gambling age has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such information and close the account. We urge parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activity and to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing our Services.
