What this means for you

This change appears to be a formatting or editorial update to Target's website navigation structure rather than a modification of Target's legal obligations toward consumers or your rights under the agreement. The removed text was promotional navigation language, not substantive terms governing your use of Target's services, purchases, or data. No action is required on your part.
