Dollar General-Digital Coupons

"We may collect the physical location of your device and/or other location attributes (such as fenceID, speed, altitude, accuracy, and bearing) by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or WiFi signals. Geolocation services can be turned off in the Location Services area of your mobile device."

Dollar General collects granular physical location data including GPS coordinates, speed, altitude, and bearing via satellite, cell towers, and WiFi—well beyond what a retail store app needs for basic functionality.

"Dollar General may share your information with: Our affiliates and subsidiaries, selected product vendors, and trusted partners with whom we have a business relationship in order to address a product concern, or to notify you of special offers and promotions relating to such companies' products. Service providers who help us provide a particular operation and its services (e.g., electronic commerce, digital coupon platform)."

Personal information is shared broadly with affiliates, product vendors, business partners, advertising partners, sweepstakes sponsors, and service providers—a wide network of third parties with access to user data.

"We work with third-party advertising and marketing companies to provide you ads that are tailored to your individual interests. These companies may place or recognize a unique cookie, web beacon, pixel tag or other similar tracking technology on your browser. We also collect Inferences drawn from any of the Personal Information listed above to create a profile or summary about, for example, an individual's preferences and characteristics, which are shared with Advertising partners."

Dollar General builds inference profiles from collected data and shares them with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, enabling tracking of users across different services and platforms.

"Certain information may be collected via your browser or through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, IP address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version, the name and version of the Services you are using, battery usage, battery charge and battery state."

Dollar General collects device-level data including MAC address, battery usage/charge/state, and detailed device fingerprinting information that goes well beyond what is necessary for a retail shopping experience.

"We retain each category of Personal Information, including Sensitive Personal Information, for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: The length of time we provide services to you or have an ongoing relationship with you, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your Personal Information to address issues that may arise; Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations."

There is no specific retention period or deletion timeline. The policy uses vague criteria like 'as long as needed or permitted' and 'legitimate need,' allowing indefinite retention of personal data.

"We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy here so that you will always be aware of our privacy practices. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy regularly. The "Last Modified" legend at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Services. Your continued use of our Services following our posting of any such changes will mean that you accept such changes."

Dollar General can change the privacy policy at any time without direct notice to users, and continued use of services is treated as acceptance of the new terms.

"You may opt out of being a Dollar General account holder and delete your Dollar General account at any time by contacting us at 1-800-678-9258 or by submitting a request to delete here. If Dollar General account holders exercise their deletion right by choosing to delete their Dollar General account, then we will no longer be able to provide them with the benefits associated with that account once we have honored their deletion request."

Account deletion requires contacting customer service by phone or submitting a formal request form rather than offering a simple self-service delete button in account settings, creating unnecessary friction.
