Biometric and sensitive data carries heightened privacy risks because it is difficult or impossible to change if compromised, and its collection may be subject to strict state laws like Illinois' BIPA.
Target collects extensive personal data — including purchase history, location, browsing behavior, and inferences about your preferences — and shares it with advertising partners and third parties for targeted marketing purposes. This means your shopping habits may be used to build a detailed profile of you that is shared beyond Target itself. You can opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information by visiting Target's privacy preferences page at https://www.target.com/c/target-privacy-policy/-/N-4sr7p or by using the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link on Target's website.
