What it is

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that Target not sell your personal information to third parties, and Target provides an opt-out mechanism for this purpose.

This analysis describes what Target's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

California's CCPA gives residents legally enforceable rights to access, delete, and opt out of the sale of their personal data; Target's platform infrastructure includes CCPA-specific API endpoints suggesting these rights are operationally implemented, but consumers must actively exercise them.

Interpretive note: The exact CCPA disclosure language was not fully visible in the truncated document; the existence of CCPA-specific API endpoints in the site infrastructure strongly implies operational implementation, but the precise disclosure text and opt-out scope require confirmation against the full privacy policy.

Target removed specific language that explained how Target Circle Bonus rewards are earned, calculated, and reflected in customer accounts across different purchase methods (online, in-store, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup, Drive Up). Previously, the terms clarified that online orders counted as one transaction unless they included Target Plus items or used Same Day Delivery, and specified timing for when bonuses would appear (24 hours for in-store, upon shipment/pickup/delivery for online). Without this clarity, customers must now rely on in-app displays or support channels to understand exactly how their purchases contribute to bonus eligibility, which may create confusion about reward calculation or disputes over earned benefits.

Target's updated Terms and Conditions now include explicit governance for its Target Circle loyalty program and Target Circle 360 membership. The updated terms establish that membership is voluntary and that by joining or continuing to use the program, members agree to Target Circle-specific terms and the Privacy Policy in effect at that time. The terms authorize Target to update the Target Circle Terms, the Target App, or the website at any time without advance notice, with continued program participation constituting acceptance of those updates. You can choose not to join Target Circle or can stop participating in the program to avoid binding yourself to these updated terms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

California residents can request access to, deletion of, or opt out of the sale of their personal information held by Target, but these rights require proactive exercise through Target's privacy controls and do not apply automatically.

What you can do

  • Delete Your Data
    Navigate to Target's privacy page at target.com/privacy, locate the privacy controls or Do Not Sell My Personal Information link, and follow the prompts to submit a data access, deletion, or opt-out request.
