KOHL'S PRIVACY POLICY - YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Last Updated: JULY 1, 2024

SCOPE

Kohl’s Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes how Kohl’s, Inc., its affiliates and its third-party service providers treat customer personal information on the websites and apps where this Privacy Policy is located. In this Privacy Policy we call websites, emails and apps “Platforms.” And when we say “Kohl’s” or “we”, we mean us, our affiliates, and relevant third-party service providers. This Privacy Policy also applies to how we treat personal information collected in Kohl’s retail stores (“Stores”), Kohl’s operated retail outlet locations and other locations and events operated by Kohl’s or its affiliates. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided directly to our banking partner, which offers the Kohl’s Cards.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” means information that identifies or is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household.

If you are a Kohl’s Rewards® Visa cardholder, please visit the Kohl’s Rewards Visa website for additional information and terms and conditions.

By using the Platforms and shopping in our Stores, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. In states with laws applicable to consumer health data, the Kohl’s Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy may also apply.

If you are a current or former Kohl’s associate, job applicant, consultant, or contractor and are a resident of California, please click here for Kohl’s Privacy Policy for California Associates, Job Applicants, Consultants, and Contractors, which describes how Kohl’s uses, collects, and disclosures your personal information when you apply for a job or accept employment or a contract with Kohl’s.
