Your Personal Information and how we protect and store
Throughout this policy, target uses the term “personal
information”. Personal Information describes information that can be
associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. Target
does not consider personal information to include information that has been
made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific user.
Target stores and processes visitor’s personal
information on target’s computers. This
information is protected using physical, technical, and administrative security
measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure
and alteration. Some of the safeguards used are firewalls and data encryption,
physical access controls to target’s data centers, and information access
authorization controls.
How personal information collected is used
The primary purpose in collecting personal information
is to provide the visitor with a secure, smooth, efficient, and customized
experience. Therefore personal information may be used to:
- provide Target Services and customer support;
- process transactions and send notices about visitor’s
transactions;
- resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot
problems;
- prevent potentially prohibited or illegal
activities, and enforce target’s Terms and Conditions;
- customize, measure, and improve target Services
and the content, layout, and operation of target’s websites;
- deliver targeted marketing, service update notices,
and promotional offers based on visitor’s communication preferences;
- contact visitor at any telephone number, by
placing a voice call or through text (SMS) or email messaging, as

with third parties.
How personal information collected is used
Target may use the personal information shared to send
email offers that may be of special interest to the visitor. If the visitor unsubscribed
from these email messages, visitor will no longer receive these messages from target
via email. If the visitor does not wish to receive marketing communications
from target or participate in ad-customization programs, visitor may
unsubscribe by following the instructions located at the bottom of the email
received. If visitor unsubscribes from email solicitations, target will still
contact visitor via email to service and maintain account relationship. If visitor
receives emails from third parties on behalf of target, visitor must
unsubscribe through the instructions in the email or contact these third
parties directly.
How personal information is shared with third parties
We only share personal information with third parties
as described in this policy.
