2. Personal Information Collected
We collect certain personal information about you and your use of our Services, including when you visit and interact with our Sites or when you interact with us through other Events. Personal information is any information that relates to you, identifies you personally, or could be used to identify you. The definition of personal information (used interchangeably with “personal data”) depends on the applicable law based on your physical location. Only the definition that applies to your physical location will apply to you under this Privacy Policy. The personal information that we collect generally falls into two primary categories: (1) information you voluntarily provide to us, and (2) information we collect from you automatically.
Information You Voluntarily Provide. We, or service providers that assist us in providing, maintaining, and operating our Services, may collect the following types of personal information from you:
- Email Alerts. When you sign up for our email alerts to receive Tractor Supply press releases, we may collect your email address.

If you participate, we may request certain personal information from you, typically including contact information (such as name and email address). Participation in these surveys is entirely voluntary. We use this information to improve our services and product offerings.
Information We Automatically Collect. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may automatically collect certain types of personal information about you when you use or interact with the Sites.

- Location Information. When you use our Services, we may infer the generic physical location and geographic regions of your device from your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other device settings. For example, your IP address may indicate your general geographic region. Upon your permission, we may collect your mobile device’s precise geo-location to find the closest property near you. You may choose not to share your location details with us by adjusting your mobile or desktop device’s location services settings. For instructions on changing the relevant settings, please contact your service provider or device manufacturer.

We may disclose your information as follows:
- Within Our Corporate Group. We may disclose some or all of your personal information with our subsidiaries and corporate affiliates, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
- Vendors and Service Providers. We may disclose personal information to vendors, service providers, contractors, professional advisors, and other entities that need this information to provide services to us, such as: assisting us in e-commerce operations; managing a database of customer information; hosting the Sites; designing and/or operating the Sites’ features; tracking the Sites’ activities and analytics; enabling us to send you special offers or perform other administrative services; delivery and shipping; operating our Customer Solutions Centers; allowing you to participate in live chat on the Site; and other services designed to assist us in maximizing our business potential. These service providers may have access to or process your personal information only for the purpose of providing services to us.
- As Necessary to Comply with Our Legal Obligations.We may disclose your personal information law enforcement authorities, government or public agencies or officials, regulators, and/or to any other person or entity having appropriate legal authority or justification for receipt of your information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: (i) protect or defend the rights, safety or property of Tractor Supply or third parties (including through the enforcement of this Privacy Policy, and other applicable agreements and policies); or (ii) comply with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g., pursuant to law enforcement inquiries, subpoenas, or court orders)

We also reserve the right to disclose and transfer all such information: (i) to a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of the Sites and/or our Stores; or (ii) in connection with a merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all our interests and/or assets, or other corporate change, including during the course of any due diligence process.
5. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
We and our service providers may automatically collect information from you when you use the Sites using “cookies” and other tracking technologies to help us customize your experience and better manage content on our Sites, including to: (a) analyze our web traffic using an analytics package; (b) identify whether you already visited any of our affiliated websites; (c) store information about your preferences (e.g., cookie preference); and (d) to recognize when you return to our Site.
Cookies are small amounts of data that are stored within your computer’s Internet browser and that are accessed and recorded by the website that you visit so that they can recognize the same browser navigating online at a later time. Information that may be collected by cookies when you use the Sites may include, without limitation: the pages you visit within the Sites; the date and time of your visit to the Sites; the amount of time you spend using the Sites; the IP address used to connect your computer to the Internet; and/or your computer and connection information such as your browser type and version, operating system and platform.
6. Security and Retention
We take reasonable steps to use appropriate physical, technical and organizational measures to help safeguard your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. Unfortunately, no security system is 100% secure, thus we cannot ensure the security of all information you provide to us via the Services.
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will cease to retain your personal information or remove the means by which the personal information can be associated with you as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves the purpose for which the personal information was collected and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, we may still retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
7. Third Party Links
The Services may have links to other websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over how these third-party websites may collect your information and no liability for the practices, policies and security measures implemented on these websites. You should read the privacy policies on those other websites before you submit your information through them.

We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy in the interactive world. Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of majority in the applicable jurisdictions, which includes for clarification, that our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18.
