Walmart recognizes the importance of your privacy. It is more than an issue of compliance — it is one of trust. We value that trust, and created this page of highlights to give you a clear explanation of how we handle your privacy and the options we give you to manage your information.
This policy applies to Wal-Mart operations, both in stores and online, in the United States and Puerto Rico. Examples include Walmart Supercenters, Neighborhood Markets and Walmart.com.
Walmart does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
Walmart uses your information to provide products and services and to support core business functions. These uses include fulfillment, internal business processes, marketing, authentication and fraud prevention, and public safety and legal functions.
We may combine information we collect online and offline, and we may share your information with our corporate affiliates like Sam's Club (except for information you provide to purchase financial products).
We may share your personal information with third parties under the following limited circumstances:
- with service providers or suppliers that help with our business operations
- with the financial institution who jointly offers a Walmart credit card
- when necessary to protect the safety, property, or other rights of Walmart, its affiliates, customers, or associates, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
We want to communicate with you in ways you want to hear from us. Examples include email newsletters, special offers, and new product announcements. We use the following standards for marketing communications:
We will not contact you via phone or text message without your express consent (opt in),
We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, without your express consent (opt in),
We use an opt-out standard for all other communications. This means we will conduct the activity unless you tell us not to.
You can provide us your marketing preferences by visiting the Privacy Preference Center or by contacting us below. The Preference Center allows you to update or change your preferences for marketing materials at any time.
We are committed to giving you a fair and timely response to any privacy concern or question you bring to us. You may contact us by one of the methods below:
