Walmart Visitor Privacy Notice Summary
The information you share with Walmart before and during your visit helps us provide an efficient check-in process for you and protect the security and safety of our premises.
Our founder Sam Walton reminded us that “a promise we make is a promise we keep,” and it’s our promise to our customers, suppliers, and visitors that we respect the trust you place in us and the privacy of the information you share. Our way of doing that is to let you know in a clear, prominent way how we collect, use, share and above all protect your personal information.
What Does This Privacy Notice Include?
This Notice outlines how and why we collect, use, share, and protect the personal information of visitors to our corporate offices. This Notice applies to the corporate locations of Walmart Inc. and our family of companies in the United States.
Some laws define “personal information” differently, and we use those definitions when they are applicable. Rest assured, though, that no matter where you live, we treat your personal information with respect, and we collect, use, and share it only as described in this Notice.

Information Provided Directly by You or a Member of Your Household
You share information with us when you arrive and engage in our visitor check-in process. The information you provide us is linked to you personally.
Information We Collect From External Third-Party Sources
For large visitor groups, we allow a pre-registration process to expedite visitor check-in and pre-print guest badges. Through pre-registration, we receive information about you from your employer in relation to your upcoming visit, such as your name and who you will be visiting.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
- To protect the security and integrity of our business, and help prevent fraud
- To conduct business analysis, such as analytics, projections, identifying areas for operational improvement
- To fulfill our legal function or obligations
How Do We Share Your Personal Information Outside of Our Family of Companies?
All of the categories of personal information that we collect have been shared with other companies, including those within our Walmart Inc. corporate family, for a business purpose. We may share your personal information in limited circumstances, such as to conduct our business, or when legally required to do so by law. We may share personal information about you with service providers that help with our business activities. We require our service providers to keep your personal information secure, and do not allow our service providers to use or share your personal information for any purpose other than providing services on our behalf.
We may share your personal information in other special circumstances, which include situations when sharing is required by law, or we believe sharing will help to protect the safety, property, or rights of Walmart, our customers, our associates, or other persons.
