What is personal data?
Personal data
Some of the data we collect is considered “personal” data because it can be used to identify you. Some examples of personal data are: your name, phone number and email address. Our privacy and cookies policy explains in detail what personal data we collect and how we use it.
Anonymous data
Anonymised data is data that cannot be used to identify you. Our privacy and cookies policy does not talk about anonymised data as your privacy is protected if the data is anonymous because nobody can identify you.

Sharing personal data with trusted partners
We’ll always honour the trust you’ve placed in Tesco, and we make this promise to you: we only ever share personal data with partners we trust so they can provide their services, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes. For example, if you order a large item that comes directly from a manufacturer, we supply them with your details so that they can deliver it to you.
Manage your marketing choices
We will send relevant offers and news about our products and services to you, for example by email, but only if you have agreed to receive them. It’s easy to change your mind, though. If you want to stop (or start) receiving them you can let us know in one of three ways:
