Target retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in the policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
There is no specific fixed retention period stated for most data categories, meaning Target may hold your personal information for an extended and somewhat indefinite period.
The absence of specific retention periods for most data categories may create compliance exposure under CPRA, which requires retention periods to be disclosed, and under GDPR's storage limitation principle if Target processes data of EU-connected individuals. Legal teams should assess whether the policy's retention disclosures satisfy applicable statutory specificity requirements.
