Tesco Diets Privacy Policy

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Tesco Diets website (Tesco Diets Site) and your relationship with Tesco Ireland Limited (Tesco, we or us). Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please do not use or become a member of the Tesco Diets Site.

Tesco Diets is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how all personal information collected via Tesco Diets will be used. Tesco owns the exclusive licence to run Tesco Diets in the UK and Ireland. If you have any queries or requests concerning your personal information please see the customer service details below.

  1. Information Collected
    Tesco Diets requests personal information when you sign up for our services, including your name, email address and other (mainly health-related) information in order to provide you with a personalised programme. Tesco Diets also collects other information about your use of the service and Tesco Diets web site. This information (excluding details of payment cards used, which are only handled by a secure online payment agent) is provided direct to Tesco Diets.
    Tesco Diets also monitors customer traffic patterns and site use in order to improve the service provided. However, information that can identify a visitor, such as a name or address, is not collected in this process, nor does Tesco Diets require disclosure of such information, unless the customer subscribes to the service. Information that can identify a visitor is collected only when the visitor provides it voluntarily.
    You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
  2. Use of your information and your preferences
    Tesco Diets will use your information to:
    • provide and improve its services
    • understand customers' shopping habits
    • contact you with offers and information about the products and services of Tesco Diets and Tesco and those of carefully selected parties
    You can opt-out of receiving promotional communications at any time by visiting www.tescodiets.com/remove, and changing your preferences.
    Please note that there may be instances where it may be necessary for Tesco Diets or Tesco to communicate with you, in any event, for administrative or operational reasons relating to Tesco Diets.
  3. Disclosures of your information
    Tesco Diets would like to reassure you that your details are safe and will never be released to companies outside the Tesco Group for their marketing purposes. Given the global nature of Tesco's business, your information may be disclosed on an international basis as part of the provision of the Service by Tesco.
    Tesco Diets may share your details among Tesco companies at home and abroad (e.g. Tesco Personal Finance), any successors in title to Tesco's business and businesses that process information on our behalf (e.g. printers who need certain details to print mailings).
    If you subscribe to the Tesco Diets Recipe Club, Tesco Diets will share your information with the third party provider of the Tesco Diets Recipe Club for the purposes of giving you access to this service.
    Tesco Diets may also use and share information relating to groups of customers, without identifying individuals, to learn more about customer behaviour and find ways of enhancing our service.
  4. Other web sites
    Tesco Diets may contain links to other web sites that are outside Tesco and eDiet UK's control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other sites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from this one.

What our members say

Debbie H

It's like having someone giving me a pat on the back when I have done well, or a shoulder to cry on when I haven't. Either way thanks for being there.


Karen H

Thrilled with what I've achieved. This has become a lifestyle choice for me now and I know I can stick with this and the weight won’t go back on. I would 100% recommend this diet to anyone. Thank you
