Walmart

You are agreeing to give Walmart access to your face, voice, and fingerprint data, plus your precise real-time location, to use their store features.

“Biometric Information, such as voice prints, imagery of the iris or retina, face geometry, and palm prints or fingerprints. ... Precise geolocation, such as data about the location of your device, which may be imprecise... If you provide your consent, this data may be precise.”

What that means: Your unique physical traits and exact movements are captured and stored by the retailer.

Walmart collects highly sensitive biometric data (face geometry, fingerprints) specifically for virtual try-on features and precise location data when consented to.

You are agreeing to let Walmart and its ad partners track your activity across many different websites and apps to serve you personalized ads.

“We work with various advertising, marketing, and other related technology partners so we can both market our products to you and provide advertising services to other companies. ... Advertising Technology Providers include ad servers... that use cookies, pixels, beacons, and similar technologies to tailor the ads you see using information collected about you over time on our Sites, and across other participating websites and mobile services.”

What that means: Advertisers know what you look at and buy far beyond just Walmart’s own website.

Walmart tracks users across multiple websites and apps using cookies, pixels, and beacons to build profiles for targeted advertising.

You are agreeing to let Walmart apply these same privacy rules to all its physical stores, websites, and owned subsidiaries like Sam's Club and VIZIO.

“It covers our Walmart retail stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, and our websites, mobile apps, and services where this Privacy Notice is posted. ... See the “When Does this Privacy Notice Apply to VIZIO Related Information?” section... VIZIO is owned by Walmart. ... Sam's Club”

What that means: Your data privacy choices on one platform, like a TV, affect how Walmart uses your data in the store or online.

Accepting this notice binds you across a wide ecosystem: physical stores, digital platforms, Walmart-owned brands like Sam's Club, and hardware products like VIZIO Smart TVs.

You are agreeing to have your interactions recorded on Smart TVs, license plates scanned on Walmart property, and calls monitored for quality control.

“This includes information such as your contact details, payment information... When you speak to customer service we collect your personal information using call recording technology... Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR)... capture images of you...”

What that means: Your TV usage, vehicle license plates, and phone calls with support are recorded and linked to your shopper profile.

The policy extends data collection to smart devices like VIZIO Smart TVs (combining viewing data with Walmart accounts), license plate readers on property, and call recording systems.

You are agreeing to accept future versions of this document even if you don’t get a direct warning for every small change.

“We will provide notice of significant updates, but please check our Privacy Notice periodically for changes. We’ll always post the date our Privacy Notice was last updated at the top of the Notice.”

What that means: Privacy rules can shift without you getting an email alert, forcing you to read the fine print repeatedly.

Walmart reserves the right to update the privacy policy at any time. While they claim to post the date, there is no requirement for direct notification of every change, only periodic checks by the user.
