Privacy Notice

Last updated: August 12, 2024

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. Woot.com LLC and its affiliates ("Woot") are subsidiaries of Amazon.com Services LLC.  As such, the collection and processing of your personal information through Woot and any related services (together, "Woot Services") are subject to the Amazon.com Privacy Notice and the Woot Additional State-Specific Privacy Disclosures below (collectively, the "Woot Privacy Notice"). 

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:

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 are required by certain state privacy laws, and provide a Notice at Collection under the California Privacy Rights 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 above, falls into the following categories established by the California Privacy Rights Act and other state privacy laws, 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 gender identity, 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, or information used to prevent and detect fraud or other unauthorized activity, including informing customers if such activity were to affect them;
    • 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 may have disclosed for a business purpose to the third parties identified in the "Does Amazon Share Your Personal Information?" section of the Amazon Privacy Notice in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this Disclosure falls into the following categories established by the California Privacy Rights Act and other state privacy laws, 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;

    • commercial information, such as the details of a product you purchased if a third-party service provider assists in providing that product to you;
    • internet or other electronic network activity information, such as if we use a service provider to help us gather crash reports for analyzing the health of our devices and services, or information relating to our prevention and detection of fraud or other unauthorized activity, which may require disclosing certain information about potentially affected customers to law enforcement;
    • audio or visual information, for example if a service provider reviews recordings of customer service phone calls for quality assurance purposes; and
