“Targeted Advertising” (sometimes called online behavioral advertising, interest-based advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising) refers to the practice of collecting information about an individual’s visits across multiple, unaffiliated websites or applications over time for the purpose of predicting their preferences or inferring their interest in order to show them ads that are more likely to be relevant. Typically, Targeted Advertising doesn’t use information that is personally identifiable in a traditional sense, such as name or home address. Rather, Targeted Advertising uses a combination of Pseudonymous Identifiers or Device Information along with Site Usage Information to match an individual’s web browser or device with their online activity or interest categories. To learn more about Targeted Advertising in general, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at www.networkadvertising.org and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) at www.aboutads.info. Additionally, the NAI and the DAA each offer consumers choices with respect to their privacy in the context of Targeted Advertising; please visit the NAI Consumer Opt Out page or the DAA’s Consumer Choice Tool for more information and resources.
We also utilize Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Google, Snap (Snapchat), TikTok, Amazon and Pinterest’s Targeted Advertising programs that match users of their respective platforms with users of our Sites or Services or with individuals that could have an interest in Michael Kors, based on their interactions or preferences across various other websites.

Process to Submit a Request under CA’s Shine the Light Law:
Include the following:
Your personal information is stored by us and/or the business we work with for as long as necessary to fulfill the specific purposes described herein and to the extent permitted or required by applicable laws. When we no longer have a legitimate business purpose for your PI that is (or is reasonably compatible with) a purpose we have explained to you, we will remove such information from our systems and records, which includes taking steps to de-identify it so that you can no longer be identified from it. When we de-identify personal information we commit to maintaining that personal information in de-identified form and not attempting to re-identify it.
Your PI and other information may be stored, transferred and processed by us and the businesses we work with in Canada, the United States and in other countries. By providing personal information to us, you acknowledge that you understand and permit us to process your personal information in Canada, the United States and other locations. This processing may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed, which may provide lesser privacy protections than the laws of the country where you live. Please be aware that when we process personal information in the United States, it can be accessible to public authorities in the United States.
While we endeavor to protect our systems, Sites, Services and personal information against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
Your Account is protected with your username and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, and we strongly recommend that you utilize a unique, complex password that you do not disclose to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication. Please notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account credentials or any other suspected breach of security using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
We offer our customers a loyalty program (interchangeably, "KORSVIP" or the “Program”) that provides certain perks, such as gifts, rewards or designated discounts. From time to time, we may also offer exclusive invitations to events, sweepstakes, contest or other similar promotional campaigns. When you sign up for KORSVIP or choose to participate in one of these Services, we typically require you to provide your name and contact information for access. Under certain laws, these Services might be interpreted as a “financial incentive.” The value of your personal information is reasonably related to the value of the discounts provided, or other benefits that you obtain or that are provided as part of the applicable Services, less the expense related to offering those products, benefits or Services, to participants.
You may withdraw from participating in the Program at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in one of the KORSVIP emails you receive. By unsubscribing from KORSVIP you will be opting out from receiving all future communications about the Program, and you will be cancelling your membership. You will no longer receive any of the Program benefits after you opt out. At this time, you are not able to opt out of Program-related emails without cancelling your membership, since such Program communications are a core part of the Program membership. If you wish to unsubscribe from general Michael Kors marketing communications (i.e., not specific to the Program) but not the cancel your KORSVIP membership, please follow the instructions set out in Section 6 (Managing Marketing Communications).
We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time and the amended Notice will be posted to the Sites. Under certain circumstances (for example, in connection with certain material changes to this Privacy Notice), we may also notify you through additional means, such as posting a notice on the home page of the Sites or contacting you via email.
To exercise your rights, please follow the procedures described in Section 6. Your Privacy Rights above.
If you have any specific questions or concerns about this Privacy Notice or our privacy practices, please contact us via email at privacy@michaelkors.com, or via postal mail at: Michael Kors, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, New York 10036, Attn: Privacy Officer.
