Dillard's Privacy Policy
Dillard's understands that privacy is very important to you. We have adopted this Privacy Policy as part of our commitment to your privacy. The terms "we", "us", and "our" refer to Dillard's, Inc. and its affiliated companies.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we obtain via dillards.com (referred to hereafter as the Site), information collected through interactions at our retail stores, information collected during customer service calls, emails, and online chats, and information collected through our mobile application. In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners (for example, contractors and vendors), our affiliates, or publicly available sources. For example, if you submit a job application, or become an employee, we may conduct a background check.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of a Dillard's Credit Card (as defined below) other than when you use the card to purchase from Dillard’s. Dillard's is transitioning from its current credit card provider, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), to its new credit card provider, Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). Thus, a separate Privacy Notice, administered by Wells Fargo, pertains to information collected by Wells Fargo when you use your private label Dillard's Credit Card or co-branded Dillard's American Express® Card issued by Wells Fargo, and a separate Privacy Notice, administered by Citibank, pertains to information collected by Citibank when you use your private label Dillard's Credit Card or co-branded Dillard's Mastercard® issued by Citibank. The private label Dillard's Credit Card and co-branded Dillard's American Express® Card issued by Wells Fargo, and the private label Dillard's Credit Card and co-branded Dillard's Mastercard® issued by Citibank, are collectively referred to herein as "Dillard's Credit Card." The privacy policies of other entities may also apply when you use your Dillard’s Credit Card on a website or at a store owned or operated by another entity. However, when you use your Dillard's Credit Card on the Site, at a Dillard’s retail store, or during a customer service call, this Privacy Policy fully applies to any information Dillard’s collects from you.
Additionally, when using the Site you may submit product reviews. We currently use a company called PowerReviews for product reviews. Your submission of reviews is governed by a separate privacy policy maintained by PowerReviews. A link to that policy is provided on the screen from which you submit your review, but you can also review it at powerreviews.com.
