MOBILE AND LOCATION-BASED SERVICES

Kohl's distributes mobile coupons and text messages to mobile devices of customers who have requested this information via an opt-in request. The opportunity to opt-out of a specific text message marketing campaign will be made available with the messages we send.

Kohl's makes available its mobile web site and mobile application to you if you choose to use those channels of the Site through a mobile device. Kohl's may collect mobile device identification and location-based information in order to provide the specific mobile application location-based service you request. Such location-based application service requires a location to function properly and your use of the application signifies your agreement to use your location for purposes of the services. If you do not want Kohl's to use location-based information, please refrain from using a location-based service on the Site or click "Don't Allow" when your mobile device requests your location-based information. Similarly, you may elect to share mobile web site content or the mobile application itself with other users, and those types of services may be provided in the form of text messages delivered to the registered mobile device instead of directly through the installed mobile Site application. By using those sharing services of the Site, you accept and agree to utilize such SMS-based communications. If you do not agree to the SMS-based communications, please refrain from using the share or other SMS features of the Site.
