Sale and Sharing Opt-Out Rights

Why it matters

Without actively opting out, your personal data continues to be used for cross-context behavioral advertising by default, meaning Target and its partners can profit from your data unless you take affirmative steps to stop them.

Consumer impact

Target collects a broad range of personal data — including purchase history, precise location, device identifiers, inferred interests, and financial information — and shares this data with third-party advertising partners through its Roundel retail media network, which goes beyond what many consumers would expect from a standard retail privacy policy. Consumers enrolled in Target Circle are subject to heightened behavioral profiling, as loyalty program data is explicitly used to build audience segments for targeted advertising both on and off Target platforms. You can submit a privacy rights request — including opt-out of sale/sharing, deletion, or data access — at https://www.target.com/c/target-privacy-policy/-/N-4sr7p or by calling 1-800-440-0680.

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 rights portal, select your desired right (opt-out, deletion, or access), and complete the verification and submission process. Alternatively, call 1-800-440-0680.

Applicable agencies
