We use these tools to provide an integrated and more personalized shopping experience for you. For example: cookies allow us to provide you relevant information as you use or return to our sites. Web beacons allow us to know if a certain page was visited, an email was opened, or if ad banners on our websites and other sites were effective. Under certain circumstances, we permit third parties to collect information on our websites for their own business purposes using cookies, web beacons, iframes and similar technologies.</li> </ul> <ul> <li> <b>Precise Device Location Information</b>: We may collect information about your location when your device is set to provide location information. For example, your device’s GPS signal allows us to show you the nearest Sam’s Club. We may be able to recognize the location of a mobile device in Clubs where we provide members free WiFi access or through the use of Bluetooth technology. Through mobile services, Bluetooth technology in our Clubs allows us to show you nearby products that may interest you, making it easier for you to locate products within and navigate through the store. See “<i>What Are Your Choices?</i>” below for more information.</li> </ul>Information We Collect from In-Store Technology <p>We may collect your personal information from technology we use in our Clubs, such as our facility cameras.

We collect information from consumer reporting agencies in conjunction with products or services that involve financial risk to Sam’s Club, such as transactions in which Sam’s Club extends you financing. We also receive information, such as device information and browsing information, from third parties for marketing purposes, for example to provide you with personalized ads on Sam’s Club and third-party websites and mobile services.<br> </p> How Do We Use Your Personal Information? <p> </p> <p>We use your personal information to offer and provide you products and services and to support our business functions.

We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:</p> <p> <b>Other Businesses in our Corporate Family</b> </p> <p>We may share your personal information with other brands and businesses within the corporate family. When we do, the information will be used in ways that are consistent with this Policy.</p> <p> <b>Service Providers</b> <br>We share personal information about you with service providers that help with our business activities, including shipping vendors, billing and refund vendors, payment card processors, marketing and advertising vendors, and companies that help us improve our products and services.

Your personal information may be stored and processed by our service providers in the United States or other locations where the service providers or Sam’s Club maintain facilities.</p> <p> <b>Credit Offers</b> <br>If you apply for a Sam’s Club Membership, we may share your personal information with the company that we partner with to offer co-branded credit card programs. In conjunction with the co-branding program, we may receive compensation from the co-branding activity. To help you obtain the highest credit limit possible this may include your Membership and application information. Similarly, if you qualify for a credit account and are not offered a credit account by a Sam’s Club associate we may share your personal information with our partner, so that they may extend the offer of credit as required by law. For more information on how to stop receiving prescreened offers of consumer credit see “<i>What are Your Choices?</i>” below.</p> <p> <b>Business Member Information</b> <br>We may share information regarding a Business Membership with the account’s primary member or an officer or principal of the business in order to respond to their inquiry. A non-primary member of the account may request information specific to their purchases.</p> <p>We may share information about Business Members’ resale merchandise purchases, such as tobacco or candy products, with our suppliers in order to enable them to offer these members discounts or rebates.</p> <p> <b>Products and Services Offered by Other Businesses</b> <br>We sometimes enable other businesses to make products or services available to our members. You may purchase products or services from these other businesses at our Clubs or through our websites or mobile services. We indicate when products or services are offered by other businesses and share with these businesses personal information related to your purchase of their products and services. These other businesses may operate their business in the United States or in other countries.</p> <p> <b>Legal Requirements and Protection of Our Company and Others</b> <br>We may share your personal information in other special circumstances, which include situations when the sharing is required by law, or we believe sharing will help to protect the safety, property, or rights of Sam’s Club, our members, our associates, or other persons.

We will use reasonable measures to help ensure that any successor treats your information in accordance with this Policy.</p> <p> <b>Pursuant to Our Specific Privacy Notices</b> <br>We have specific privacy notices related to some of our specialized operations. We may disclose personal information for purposes identified in those notices, which arise in those specialized operational areas. These specific privacy notices describe additional or different information practices relevant to those operations. Our specific privacy notices can be found here. For example, as detailed in the Notice of Privacy Practices, our health services operations will disclose personal information to other health care providers for treatment purposes. </p> <p> <b>Deidentified &amp. Aggregated Personal Information</b> <br>Sam’s Club continually strives to make member shopping experiences more relevant and with less friction and may offer related services and insights to its suppliers and others. As a result, Sam’s Club may share with others insights that combine information from many members in ways that do not directly identify you. For example, Sam’s Club may combine your shopping history with that of other members to deliver generalized insights to Sam’s Club’s suppliers. These insights do not identify individual members. This information helps Sam’s Club suppliers provide products and services relevant to Sam’s Club members. Sam’s Club may receive payment for these insights.</p> <p>To deliver information about products and services that may be of interest to you, we may share information with other companies, such as publishers, advertisers and measurement analytics providers. For example, we may share device-related data (such as device identifier, type of device, IP address, cookies and other information associated with your browsing and app usage) and individual preferences and characteristics (such as insights and inferences related to shopping patterns and behaviors). This information does not identify you directly, but is necessary to personalize the advertisements you receive. Sam’s Club does not receive payment for this information.</p> <p>We also allow companies that show advertisements on our webpages or our apps to collect information from your browsers or devices via the use of cookies or other technologies. Like many companies, we may allow cookie matching with select partners. However, these parties are not authorized to access information from our cookies.
