The provision operationalizes Target's data collection practices by defining which information categories constitute sensitive personal information under applicable legal frameworks and establishing a consent-acquisition mechanism for sensitive data collection. This structures Target's compliance obligations relative to varying state and federal privacy laws that impose different requirements for sensitive personal data.
The terms establish that Target will request consent before collecting specific categories of sensitive personal information where legally required, such as precise location data needed for mobile app features. Users who decline such consent requests will not have access to features dependent on that sensitive data collection.
