We want to offer you choices about the
different ways we collect, use, or share your personal information. These
choices are described below.
Marketing
Preferences
When we are sending marketing communications to you, we use the following
standards:
- We use an opt-in standard for
phone and text messages. We use an opt-in standard for sharing personal
information with companies outside our corporate family of companies for
their use in direct marketing, such as sending you promotions. Opt-in
means we will only conduct the activity with your affirmative consent.
- We use an opt-out standard
for email or for other communications, such as postal mail. Opt-out means
we may contact you, but will stop upon your request (as described below).
Please
note that these standards may not apply to communications regarding our Health &
Wellness operations, such as prescription reminders. For more information see
the
Health
& Wellness Notice of Privacy Practices.
Additionally,
these standards may not apply to Walmart-branded credit card offerings because these
are provided through associated financial institutions. However, you can choose
to stop receiving certain prescreened offers of credit that originate from participating
nationwide credit reporting agencies, including our prescreened offers, by
calling the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry organization at 1-888-567-8688
or by going to
www.optoutprescreen.com.
You
can provide us with your marketing preferences by visiting our
Communication
Preferences & Alerts page. The Communication Preferences & Alerts
page allows you at any time to update or change your preferences about
receiving marketing materials. Or you
may contact the Privacy Office as described in the “
Contact
Us” section below.
If
you contact us by email or mail, please be sure to include your full name, the
types of communications you would like to receive or not receive, and your
related contact information. For instance, if you would like to opt-out of
mail, include your mailing address. Please allow sufficient time for your marketing
preferences to be processed. It may take up to ten days to process your
requests related to email and up to 30 days to process your requests related to
telephone calls, text messages, and sharing information with your consent.
Please note that postal mailings are often prepared many weeks in advance, and you
may continue to receive mail for six to ten weeks.
Since we do not accept opt-out requests from third parties,
such as catalog opt-out services, please communicate your request directly to
us through one of the mechanisms mentioned above.
Please
know that, even if you opted out of receiving marketing communications from us,
we may still contact you for transactional or informational purposes. Some
examples are contacts for customer service, product information, service or
reminder notices, customer surveys, or recalls. We may also need to contact you
with questions or information regarding your order.
Interest-Based Advertising Preferences
We
personalize your experience on our sites and mobile services by showing you
advertisements that are tailored to your interests. For example, if you browse
or shop for electronics with us or on other sites, we may show you ads for
electronics as you continue to browse the Internet. For more information about
browsing information see
“Information We
Receive From You.”
We
show you advertisements related to Walmart or our advertising partners. We belong
to ad networks that may use your browsing history across participating websites
and mobile services to show you interest-based advertisements. You may also see
ads for Walmart on participating websites and mobile services based on how you
browse. We do not share personal information about you with companies that
advertise on our websites without your consent.

opt out.
Mobile Location
SettingsSome of our mobile services use your device’s location
information. You can adjust the settings of your mobile device at any time to
control whether your device communicates this location information. See your
device instructions to learn more about these settings. In addition, we may
offer you controls on our use of your mobile location information.
