We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly.

The Woot Privacy Notice describes the personal information that we collect, the sources from which we collect it, the purposes for which we use it, the limited circumstances under which we share personal information, and with whom we share it. These additional disclosures, which serve as a Notice at Collection under the California Privacy Rights Act, are required by the California Privacy Rights Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act.       

By using Woot Services, you are consenting to the practices described in the Woot Privacy Notice.


Woot Additional State-Specific Privacy Disclosures:

These additional disclosures are required by the California Privacy Rights Act and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act:

    1. Categories of personal information collected.  The personal information that Woot collects, or has collected from consumers in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this Disclosure, falls into the following categories established by the California Privacy Rights Act, depending on which Woot Service is used:
      • identifiers such as your name, alias, address, phone numbers, IP address, or your Woot account log-in information;
      • personal information, such as a credit card number or other payment information;
      • information that may reveal age, gender, or other protected classifications, for example if you choose to participate in a customer survey or voluntarily provide such information in the Woot forums;
      • commercial information, such as purchase activity;
      • internet or other electronic network activity information, including content interaction information.
      • audio or visual information, such as voice recordings when you call our customer service; and
      • inference data, such as information about your purchase preferences. 
    2. Categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose. The personal information that Woot disclosed to the third parties identified in the "Does Amazon Share Your Personal Information?" section of the Amazon Privacy Notice about consumers for a business purpose in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this Disclosure falls into the following categories established by the California Privacy Rights Act, depending on which Woot Service is used:

      • personal information, such as a credit card number or other payment information, for example if we use a third-party payment processor;
      • information that may reveal age, gender, or other protected classifications, for example if you choose to participate in a survey distributed by a survey provider or voluntarily provide such information in the Woot forums;

      • audio or visual information, for example if a service provider reviews recordings of customer service phone calls for quality assurance purposes; and

      • internet or other electronic network activity information and inference data; for example, if you purchase a product, we may share an advertising identifier and an estimate of the value of the ads they show you on our behalf so they can serve you with more effective ads.

    Woot also processes personal information for the purposes of targeted advertising as that term is defined under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and Utah Consumer Privacy Act. You can learn more about how to opt-out of personalized advertising (such as cross-context behavioral advertising) by going to the "Your Ads Privacy Choices" page.
