What it is

Target shares your personal information with third-party companies that help run its business, including analytics providers, payment processors, delivery partners, and advertising networks.

Why it matters

Your data flows to many companies beyond Target, and while service providers are contractually bound by restrictions, advertising and analytics partners may use your data for their own purposes.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Third-party data sharing arrangements require contractual data protection agreements under CCPA/CPRA and potentially GDPR if any EU data flows exist; compliance teams should conduct due diligence on downstream data processors and ensure data processing agreements are in place and current.

Consumer impact

Target collects a wide range of personal data including your precise location, purchase history, browsing behavior, and inferences about your preferences, which it uses for targeted advertising and shares with third-party partners. This means your shopping behavior may be used to build a detailed profile that influences the ads you see across the internet. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by visiting Target's privacy preference center at https://www.target.com/c/target-privacy-policy/-/N-4sr7p.
