A Target employee claims the company is tracking shoppers using devices on shopping baskets, according to a viral TikTok video. The device, described as a tracker, is said to monitor customer behavior. Target has used location tracking since 2017, including geolocation data and Bluetooth beacons. The company’s privacy policy mentions in-store location tracking, which it says helps customers find products and deals. Employees have confirmed extensive monitoring, including credit card and license plate tracking. The video was later made private, and the employee expressed concerns about data collection for profit.
