This hub collects analytics data only: page views, session durations, referrer URLs and browser-type information. It does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment card data or login credentials. It does not operate a sign-in system, a shopping cart or any form that accepts personal information. The editorial bench's phone number is 1-855-862-7440 for any reader who has a question this document does not answer.

About this policy and this hub

The Targetcom Reading Bench operates this informational reading hub at the domain targetcom.co.com. The hub publishes reading pages about the chain's retail services, loyalty programme, store history and related topics. It has no commercial relationship with the retailer, does not process orders, does not hold customer accounts and does not accept payment of any kind. This privacy policy describes data handling for the hub itself — not for the retailer, its app, its loyalty programme or any other service the retailer operates.

If you are looking for the privacy policy that governs the retailer's own website, app or loyalty programme, you will find it on the retailer's official domain. This document does not apply to that domain or to any other domain.

Data we collect

This hub collects standard web analytics data through the analytics provider configured on the domain. The data collected includes: pages visited and the sequence of pages visited within a session; the duration of each session; the referring URL that brought a reader to this site (for example, a search engine result or a link from another page); the type of browser and operating system in use; and the general geographic region inferred from the IP address at session level (typically country and state, not city or street level). This data is collected in aggregate and is used to understand which reading pages are most useful to readers and which topics generate the most questions.

No individual reader is identified by name, email address, phone number, physical address or any other personal identifier through this collection. No data is linked to a named individual in the analytics system. Sessions are tracked by anonymous session identifiers that reset with each new browsing session or when browser cookies are cleared.

Data we do not collect

This hub does not collect names. It does not collect email addresses. It does not collect phone numbers. It does not accept or store payment card numbers, bank account numbers or any financial data. It does not operate a sign-in system and therefore holds no usernames or passwords associated with any reader. It does not collect government-issued identification numbers. It does not collect health or medical information. It does not collect the contents of any communications beyond what is described in the contact section below.

This hub does not contain any form that asks a reader to enter personal information. The single phone number published on this site — 1-855-862-7440 — is an editorial inquiry line. Calling that number is not required to read any content on this site, and any call to that number is handled according to standard telephone practices rather than stored as a data record associated with your visit to this domain.

How we use data

Analytics data collected by this hub is used for one purpose: to understand which reading pages are most frequently visited, how readers navigate between pages and which topics generate sustained reading sessions. That understanding helps the editorial bench decide which pages to update first, which topics need additional depth and whether the navigation structure serves readers well. Analytics data is not sold to third parties. It is not used for advertising targeting. It is not shared with the retailer or with any other commercial entity.

The FTC publishes guidance on website data practices at consumer.ftc.gov that explains your rights as a consumer in relation to how websites collect and use data. The USA.gov online safety resource at usa.gov/online-safety provides plain-language guidance on protecting your personal information when browsing. Both are government resources with no commercial interest in the outcome.

Your rights as a reader

You have the right to know what data this site holds about you. Because this hub collects only anonymous aggregate analytics data, there is no individually identified data record associated with your visit that could be retrieved or disclosed. If you have a concern about this, you can contact the editorial bench at the phone number below and the team will confirm in plain language what data, if any, could be associated with your session.

You have the right to browse this site without accepting cookies. If you configure your browser to block cookies, all reading content on this site remains fully accessible. The only consequence is that the analytics provider will not record your session in its aggregate count. No reading page on this hub is gated behind a cookie-consent interaction.

If you are a resident of a US state that has enacted a consumer data-privacy law, your rights under that law apply to this hub to the extent the law covers the type of data this site collects. Because this hub does not collect personal data in the definitions used by most such laws — no name, contact information or financial data — most of the rights those laws describe are not practically applicable here. The editorial bench will nonetheless respond to any formal written request submitted under applicable state law within the timeframe that law specifies.

Cookies

This hub uses analytics cookies placed by the analytics provider to distinguish individual sessions and measure aggregate page traffic. These cookies do not contain personal information; they contain anonymous session identifiers. They are not used for advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking. No third-party advertising tags or marketing pixels are loaded by this domain. You can view, manage and delete cookies set by this domain using your browser's privacy settings. Most major browsers — including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge — provide a cookie management interface under settings or privacy controls.

Contact

The editorial bench for this hub can be reached by phone at 1-855-862-7440. That line accepts editorial inquiries, privacy questions and reader feedback. The team does not operate a ticket system for privacy requests; phone contact is the fastest path to a direct response. The editorial bench does not operate an email inbox for this hub; phone is the primary contact channel.

This privacy policy was last reviewed in 2026 and will be updated if the hub's data collection practices change. The current version will always appear at this URL. Readers who want to verify the date of the most recent revision can contact the editorial bench at the number above.
