Best Buy collects a broad range of information about you, including your name, contact details, purchase history, how you browse their website, your location, and draws inferences about your preferences from all this data.
This analysis describes what Best Buy's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The breadth of data collection — spanning identifiers, behavioral data, location, and inferred profile attributes — means Best Buy builds a detailed consumer profile that goes well beyond what is needed to complete a retail transaction.
Consumers should be aware that Best Buy's data collection extends to inferred profile attributes derived from browsing and purchase behavior, creating a consumer profile that may be used for targeted advertising and shared with third parties beyond the scope of the original transaction.
