Target's privacy policy describes how Target collects and uses personal information across its stores, website, mobile app, Target Circle loyalty program, Target Plus marketplace, and RedCard financial products. The policy states that Target collects identifiers, payment information, biometric data including face geometry from beauty try-on tools, precise geolocation, browsing activity, purchase history, and inferences about consumer preferences, and authorizes sharing this data with advertising and analytics partners, marketplace sellers, and loyalty program partners. California residents and residents of several other states are granted specific rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information through mechanisms described in the policy.
This document is Target Corporation's privacy policy governing the collection, use, sharing, and retention of personal information across Target's retail, digital, and loyalty program ecosystems, with stated legal bases including consent, contractual necessity, and compliance with applicable law. The policy states that Target collects identifiers, contact information, payment card data, biometric identifiers (including face geometry data from beauty try-on features), precise geolocation, browsing and search history, purchase history, inferences drawn from personal information, and sensitive personal information such as health-related data; the terms authorize sharing of this data with advertising partners, analytics providers, data brokers operating as service providers, Target Plus marketplace sellers, and loyalty program partners including Ulta Beauty and Marriott. Notably, the policy discloses the collection of biometric identifiers and face geometry data in connection with augmented reality beauty features, which engages state biometric privacy statutes (including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act and similar laws in Texas and Washington) that impose consent, retention, and destruction obligations that may constrain how the terms apply in practice. The policy engages the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by CPRA, state consumer protection statutes, and the FTC Act; California residents receive enumerated rights including the right to know, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, and limit use of sensitive personal information, while residents of additional states including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and others receive analogous state-law rights under frameworks the policy acknowledges by reference to a state privacy rights table.
