Target updated its privacy policy on May 16, 2026, by modifying footer navigation and promotional content. The previous version included links to 'Gift Ideas for Mom', 'Last update: March 5, 2026', and references to updated privacy categories and retention information. The updated version replaces these with different promotional categories including 'Gift Ideas for Dad' and 'Back to School', and removes the explicit update date reference and summary of what was changed. This appears to be a navigation and content reorganization rather than a substantive change to Target's privacy rights, practices, or obligations.
This change is a formatting and navigation update to Target's privacy policy footer and does not modify the substantive privacy rights, data collection practices, or consumer obligations stated in the policy. The removal of the 'Last update: March 5, 2026' date reference means the policy footer no longer explicitly displays when the document was last revised, though the policy content itself remains operative. The reorganization of promotional categories in the footer has no effect on how Target collects, uses, or protects consumer data.
