FACTS

WHAT DOES TARGET DO WITH YOUR TARGET DEBIT CARD PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Why?

Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

What?

The types of personal information we collect and share depends on the product or service you have with us. This information can include:

What we do

How does Target protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

How does Target collect my personal information?

We collect your Target Debit Card personal information, for example, when you

- apply for a Target Debit Card and give us your contact information

- give us your income information and show us your driver's license/identification card

We also collect your personal information from others, such as consumer reporting agencies, affiliates or other companies.

Why can't I limit all sharing?

- sharing for non-affiliates to market to you

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law.
