Website Optimization Services (ADV, OPS)

Bloomingdale's shares data with Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics tools to understand and optimize website performance and enhance site usability for our customers. These tools run in the background of our sites analyzing site usage information and then returning reports to us through an encrypted connection. Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics are required to maintain data securely and confidentially and are not permitted to share data collected with parties other than Bloomingdale's. Credit card or password data is not collected through Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics. In addition, Google Analytics may associate and group session visits to our website from various browsers and devices.

Interest-Based or Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA) (ADV, OPS)

These companies compile information from various online sources (including mobile-enabled browsers and applications) to match user profiles with ads we believe will be most relevant, interesting, and timely based on that user profile.
For additional information on interest-based advertising and options for managing preferences, including opt-outs, Click Here.

Social Network & New Tech Advertising Programs (ADV)

Bloomingdale's has relationships with several social networks and new tech companies. These companies have specific Interest-Based Ads programs that match people that have shown interest in Bloomingdale's through our website or other services with their profiles (such as on Facebook) and platforms (such as Facebook and Google properties). This matching allows us to deliver relevant, interest-based ads on those companies' networks.
To get information about Managing Your Preferences for these programs, Click Here.

Do Not Track (DNT) (ADV, OPS)

Bloomingdale's does not currently recognize and process Do Not Track signals from different web browsers. Customers may manage their preferences for tracking across sites in the Interest-Based Advertising section above. For more information on Do Not Track please visit http://allaboutdnt.org/.

Bloomingdale's Mobile Applications (FUL, ADV, OPS, SEC)

Bloomingdale's offers mobile applications that you may download from your phone or smart device's "app store" as well as apps that you can download from your Internet-connected devices (e.g., smart television).
Bloomingdale's mobile applications, with your permission, may use your device's camera, microphone, or location information to enable features or services. For example, geolocation (e.g., GPS) can help you find a nearby store or learn about upcoming nearby store events. Another example is in-store location using Bluetooth signals to connect to our beacons or our in-store Wi-Fi services, which can help you while inside our store to find nearby products or receive real-time offers.
Bloomingdale's mobile application preferences are managed in the Bloomingdale's application and through your device's settings.

Beacons (FUL, ADV, OPS, SEC)

Beacons are small appliances that we use to enhance and make Bloomingdale's in-store experience more interactive. Beacons broadcast a Bluetooth signal that can be received by Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as a mobile phone, when those devices are within proximity of a beacon. Beacons do not collect or pull in personal data; they only push out radio signal pulses to map nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices, much in the same way radar works. In-app permissions, such as permission to access location and accept push notifications (sometimes shown as 'PNS' on your devices), must be enabled for a beacon to interact with your specific Bluetooth-enabled device. Interactions with and notifications delivered to your device may include customer service information, in-store directions, offers and advertisements from Bloomingdale's as well as other non-Bloomingdale's applications and advertisers.
Beacon Preferences are managed through your device (Bluetooth, Location, and PNS settings).

In-Store Wi-Fi Services (FUL, ADV, OPS, SEC)

Many Bloomingdale's locations offer free Wi-Fi services to visitors. Wi-Fi routers capture certain data from devices that interact with the router. Some examples of data automatically collected through our Wi-Fi service include:
Information about your device, including a MAC address, and telemetry data (such as signal strength and quality) related to your use of our Wi-Fi service.
Vendors that analyze Wi-Fi data automatically collected to provide operational insights such as foot traffic volumes, dwell times, and how customers move through our stores.
Unless we receive consent to use Wi-Fi data in a manner that identifies you or your device(s), Wi-Fi data is anonymously collected or de-identified.

RFID (FUL, OPS, SEC)

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags consist of a small chip and antenna that provide a unique identifier for objects. RFID serves the same purpose as a bar code and must be scanned by a specific type of reader in close proximity to the tag to retrieve tag data. Bloomingdale's uses RFID for inventory management (such as locating shoes in the stock room) and logistics support. RFID is not used to track or monitor any items once you leave our stores.

Video Cameras (FUL, OPS, SEC)

We use cameras in our stores for security purposes, loss prevention, and asset protection. We also use cameras in our stores for operational purposes, such as traffic pattern analysis. Cameras may include technology to capture demographic information, such as age, gender and dwell time.
We will not use cameras to personally identify you, without your consent, except when the identification is for security, anti-theft, or law enforcement purposes.

Voice-Enabled Services (FUL, OPS)

We may use voice-enabled services (VES) to provide you greater functionality and easier shopping experiences with services such as voice search for products (for e.g., "Show me Style & Company Handbags"). VES will only be used to facilitate specific requests. Voice files are not used to personally identify an individual and will not be associated within any individual Bloomingdale's account. Voice files will be retained by Bloomingdale's and any third-party voice-enabled service providers.
Voice-enabled services are opt-in by use. If you do not wish to opt-in to VES, do not use those features. VES do not include phone answering machine messages.

Loyalty/Financial Incentives

Bloomingdale's automatically provides Loyallist loyalty benefits to Bloomingdale's credit cardholders. Customers may sign-up for Bloomingdale's Loyallist program if they don't have a Bloomingdale's credit card. To participate as a non-cardholder, you must provide an email (so we can send reward and program-related information), phone number (as the identifier used to track purchases that go toward reward points and to redeem rewards), address, and birth month and day. The purpose of the Loyallist loyalty program is to encourage repeat business with Bloomingdale's and enhance your shopping experience. Repeat customers generally spend more than customers who only shop once or twice a year.

The benefits provided to customers (or realized by Bloomingdale's) vary by customer depending upon the purchases made, whether items are bought in-store or online, which offers a customer uses, and many other factors. Bloomingdale's also incurs a variety of expenses, costs associated with discounts on purchases and shipping. The benefits are reasonably related to the value of the data you provide.

The benefits of the Loyallist program, and terms and conditions, are described here.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under CCPA. Loyallist members also remain free to opt-out of email, phone, and text marketing at any time.
We also offer customers a discount promotion code for signing up for marketing emails. The promotion code is provided in a confirmation email. However, customers may opt out at any time thereafter and still retain the ability to use the promotion code. We provide this incentive because we want to be able to send offers by email. The cost of sending an email is nominal.

Additional Disclosures

Information About Children Under 13
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act imposes requirements on Web sites that collect personal information about children under 13 years old (for example - name, address, email address, social security number, etc.). Our current policy is not to collect any personal information on any person under 13 years old online. For this reason, our sweepstakes and other promotions conducted online are restricted to entrants who are at least 13 years old.

If this policy changes, we will revise this portion of our Notice of Privacy Practices and will comply with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which includes providing notice and choice to each child's parent or guardian before collecting any personal information.

Opt-In Consent for Minors
Bloomingdale's services are offered to customers who are of the age of 16 years and above. No programs, services, or offerings are intended for children under the age of 16. Also, credit products are not available for the customer below the age of 18 years.

International Customer Privacy
To fill international orders, bloomingdales.com partners with Borderfree, Inc. (formerly FiftyOne). Borderfree will carefully process your personal information with at least the same level of privacy protection consistent with the former U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and the U.S. Swiss Safe Harbor Privacy Principles established by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

On the checkout page, you will be required to submit personal information to Borderfree to complete your order. Once you place your order, you will be prompted to confirm whether you would like to receive future marketing communication from bloomingdales.com.

Borderfree will notify bloomingdales.com of the approval of your order, and bloomingdales.com will then ship approved orders to Borderfree. Simultaneously, Borderfree will purchase the product from us, which allows them to take title to the product(s), bill your credit card, collect and remit any duties and taxes to the appropriate taxing authority, and arrange for the product to be delivered to you. In this process, Borderfree makes the sale to you as the merchant of record. When ordering a product, you will be presented with Borderfree's terms and conditions.

We designed our technology-enabled services to accept orders only from Web and mobile browsers that permit communication through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL is an encryption standard that provides a layer of security while information is being transmitted over the Internet.

As a matter of policy, we do not disclose details regarding our security measures as this could be beneficial information to criminals and other bad actors.

Additionally, sometimes bad actors attempt to use our brand to create fake web pages, send fake texts or emails, and conduct other illegal activities to commit fraud or attempt to breach consumers' security. We actively monitor for these illegal scams and shams. We provide FAQs and Consumer Protection Alerts in our Customer Protection Center (CPC) as we learn of these activities. If you receive anything with the Bloomingdale's brand that seems suspicious, you can check to see if there is an alert on the CPC or call our customer service department.

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies to deliver, monitor, and improve our websites, mobile-enabled web, and display content. This Statement describes the information we collect through cookies and other tracking technologies. Approved third parties may also place cookies on your web or mobile browser when you use our online services. You may find additional information regarding our use of your Personal Information in our Notice of Privacy Practice.

What Are Cookies?
A Cookie is a small piece of computer code sent by a website and stored on the hard disk of your computer. A pixel tag (also known as a tracking pixel, web beacon, or clear GIF) is an embedded image on a website that may register a user's website activity. A Flash Cookie (also known as a Local Shared Object) is a data file stored on your computer by the websites that you visit (Click Here for more details). Flash Cookies provide similar functionality as Cookies, but are based on different technology, provide richer data collections, and are persistent; they do not go away when you exit your browser and generally cannot be deleted through your browser option tools.

Our online services use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only exist while your browser is open. We use session cookies for website functionality, such as managing items added to your shopping cart. Persistent cookies are not removed when you exit your web browser. We use persistent cookies to enable an easier log-in process, provide you with a more personalized shopping experience, and help you navigate our website more efficiently. We also use persistent cookies to show you the items you have previously browsed. We may use a flash cookie on our online services to enable or control flash-based content.

How & Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to improve our services and provide you with the best possible experience. We may use cookies in order to identify you; provide relevant, interest-based advertising; remember your preferences; secure your access; know when content has been shown to you; provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers; understand and improve our online services; and detect and defend against fraud and other risks. When we send you an email, we may use cookies to understand if you have accessed the information provided in the email. We may combine information collected through the cookies with your Personal Information in order to provide you a personalized experience including advertising about products and services you may find of interest.

The information we collect from cookies also may allow us to identify you across devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, or related browsers.

We may allow certain approved third parties to place their cookies on our websites or within our advertisements. Your web browser may request advertisements directly from third-party advertising network servers which do not have a business relationship with us. These advertisements may place cookies that can view, edit, or set third-party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from the third-party site. We are not responsible for the practices, including the use of cookies, employed by third party websites, mobile-enabled web or online services linked to or from Bloomingdale's, or for the content contained therein.

Third-party websites, mobile-enabled web, and online services accessible on the Internet are outside the control or limits of this Cookie Policy.
