Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

Consumers have the right to request that Target tell them what personal information it has collected, correct inaccurate information, or delete their data, subject to certain exceptions.

Why it matters

These rights give you meaningful control over your personal information and allow you to verify what Target knows about you, fix errors, and request removal of your data from Target's systems.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

These rights are mandated under CCPA/CPRA and mirror obligations under Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, and other state privacy laws. Compliance teams should confirm that Target's response timelines, verification procedures, and appeals processes meet statutory requirements across all applicable jurisdictions.

Consumer impact

Target collects extensive personal data β€” including purchase history, location, browsing behavior, and inferences about your preferences β€” 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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Navigate to Target's privacy policy page, locate the privacy rights request form, select the type of request (access, correction, or deletion), and submit. Target is required to respond within statutory timeframes.
  • Export Your Data
    Submit a 'Right to Know' request through Target's privacy portal to receive a copy of the personal data Target has collected about you.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
    State attorneys general enforce consumer data rights under CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws, including the right to access, correct, and delete personal data.
