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 updated its Terms and Conditions on June 10, 2026, modifying provisions related to dispute resolution, account management, and service usage. The updated terms continue to include arbitration agreements, class action waivers, and jury trial waivers as part of the dispute resolution framework. The extent to which individual provisions were modified materially cannot be assessed from the available diff; consumers should review the complete updated Terms and Conditions at Target.com to understand specific changes to provisions affecting their rights.
View change record →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.
View change record →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.
