Why We Collect and Use Information

We at Macy's understand that you entrust your data to us. We value that trust.

Your Personal Information will be retained only as long as necessary to carry out the purposes outlined in this Notice. Personal Information will be retained and disposed of in accordance with Macy’s Data Retention Policy and Schedule.

We may combine information collected from different sources. Below is a summary of the primary ways we collect and use information:

Loyalty/Financial Incentives

Macy's automatically provides Star Rewards loyalty benefits to Macy's credit cardholders. Customers may sign-up for the Macy's Star Rewards program if they do not have a Macy's credit card. To participate as a non-cardholder, you must provide an email (so we can send reward and program-related information), phone number (as the identifier used to track purchases that go toward reward points and redeem rewards), and birth month and day (to redeem rewards). The purpose of the Star Rewards loyalty program is to encourage repeat business with Macy's and enhance your shopping experience.

The benefits provided to customers (or realized by Macy's) vary by customer depending upon the purchases made, whether items are bought in-store or online, which offers a customer uses, and many other factors. Macy's also incurs a variety of expenses related to loyalty benefits. Those may include, for example, costs associated with discounts on purchases and free shipping. The benefits are reasonably related to the value of the data you provide.

The benefits of the Star Rewards program are described Here. The terms and conditions are available Here.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under Consumer Data Privacy Legislation. Star Rewards members also remain free to opt-out of email, phone, and text marketing at any time.

We also offer customers a discount promotion code for signing up for marketing emails. The promotion code is provided in a confirmation email. However, customers may opt-out at any time thereafter and still retain the ability to use the promotion code. We provide this incentive because we want to be able to send offers by email. The cost of sending an email is nominal.

International Customer Privacy

  • To fill international orders, macys.com partners with Borderfree, Inc. Borderfree will carefully process your Personal Information with at least the same level of privacy protection consistent with international data privacy principles. Borderfree will not sell, transfer, or otherwise use your information other than for processing international shipments.
  • When you indicate you are shipping internationally, you will be redirected to a checkout page hosted by Borderfree. On the checkout page, you will be required to submit Personal Information to Borderfree to complete your order. Once you place your order, you will be prompted to confirm whether you would like to receive future marketing communication from macys.com.
  • Borderfree will notify macys.com of the approval of your order, and macys.com will then ship approved orders to Borderfree. Simultaneously, Borderfree will purchase the product from us, which allows them to take title to the product(s), bill your credit card, collect and remit any duties and taxes to the appropriate taxing authority, and arrange for the product to be delivered to you. In this process, Borderfree makes the sale to you as the merchant of record. When ordering a product, you will be presented with Borderfree's terms and conditions. You must agree to them to receive the product(s) you ordered.
  • If you agree that Borderfree may share your personal information with macys.com, that data is protected by this Notice of Privacy Practices, and you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers located in the United States.

Customers shipping internationally who wish to contact macys.com to:

  • Inquire about or update their Personal Information,
  • Make a complaint about the collection or use of their Personal Information, or
  • Comment on or ask questions regarding this Notice.
