Change Summary
Target updated its text message terms on March 23, 2026 to clarify how it handles SMS subscriber data and unsubscribe procedures. The company added a statement that it does not sell text message information to third parties for marketing, and replaced a detailed list of supported carriers with a simpler notice that carriers are not liable for message delays. The unsubscribe process now accepts variations of 'STOP' instead of only that word, and confirmation of unsubscribe is no longer guaranteed. Most significantly, Target now states it may share text message data with service providers to fulfill requests, whereas previously this sharing right was not explicitly stated.
