Last updated: September 20, 2026

Trader Joe’s List (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates traderjoeslist.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use the website, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.

Information you provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, message, comment, survey response, giveaway entry, or newsletter preferences. If you contact us about a partnership or business matter, we may also retain the information you include in that communication.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through public comments or general contact forms.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical and usage information. This may include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, dates and times of visits, interactions with content, and diagnostic or performance data.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand site usage, measure performance, display embedded content, support affiliate attribution, and—if advertising is enabled—serve and measure advertising. For more information and browser-control options, read our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

We may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the site. Analytics providers may collect information through cookies or similar technologies and process it on our behalf. You can learn about Google’s practices at Google’s Privacy Policy and review available controls at Google Analytics Opt-out.

Advertising

We may work with advertising partners, including Google, to display and measure ads. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, limit repetition, measure performance, detect fraud, and personalize advertising where permitted. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can manage Google advertising preferences through My Ad Center.

Embedded content and social media

Pages may contain embedded videos, social posts, widgets, or links from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or Pinterest. Those services may receive information about your visit and may set cookies when you interact with embedded content, depending on your settings and relationship with the platform.

Newsletters and communications

If you subscribe to a newsletter or other email communication, we and our email service provider may process your email address, subscription status, engagement information, and preferences. You can unsubscribe using the link in any marketing email. We may still retain limited records needed to honor an unsubscribe request or comply with law.

Comments and contact forms

Information submitted in a public comment may be visible to others. Contact-form submissions may be processed by our website, hosting, security, spam-prevention, and form-service providers. We use this information to respond, moderate content, prevent abuse, and maintain the site.

Affiliate links and sponsored content

Some links may be affiliate links. Retailers or affiliate networks may use cookies or similar technology to attribute a purchase. Our Affiliate Disclosure explains these relationships.

How information may be shared

We may share information with vendors that help us host, secure, analyze, operate, and monetize the website or deliver communications.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, in connection with a business transfer, or with your direction or consent. We do not sell personal information for money. Certain advertising or analytics activities may be considered “sharing,” “selling,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws, and applicable opt-out rights may be available.

Data retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including maintaining records, responding to inquiries, preventing abuse, honoring preferences, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and service involved.
