Walmart Walmart Privacy Notice changes — first seen 2026-08-13 (MINOR)

What changed, in plain language

Walmart added one new paragraph telling you that if you share a Walmart+ membership, the primary member can see some of the secondary member's information — like total savings by benefit category and whether the secondary member accepted or ended the sharing. Nothing else changed.

Changes that may affect you

Your Walmart+ activity can be seen by whoever shares the membership with youMINOR

DATA SHARING

If you are the secondary person on someone else's Walmart+ membership, that person can see information about how you use it, such as how much you saved in each benefit category. The examples given are grouped totals rather than a list of your individual purchases, and this only applies if you choose to join a shared membership. Still, Walmart says "for example," so the list is not necessarily complete — other membership-related details could be visible too. This is a disclosure to another person, not a sale of your data to outside companies.

“certain personal information associated with the membership may be visible by the primary member, for example aggregate savings by benefit category (like Store Perks) or if the secondary member accepts or terminates the benefits-sharing arrangement”

What you can do — If you don't want the main account holder seeing your Walmart+ savings activity, don't accept a shared membership — or end the benefits-sharing arrangement in your Walmart account settings and get your own membership.

Changelog

+ ADDEDWalmart+ shared memberships: the main member can see some of your info
If you use a Walmart+ membership someone else shares with you, the main account holder may see certain details tied to that membership. Walmart gives examples: your total savings grouped by benefit type (such as Store Perks), and whether you accepted or ended the sharing arrangement. This paragraph is new — the notice did not say this before.
If you participate in Walmart+ Benefits Sharing, certain personal information associated with the membership may be visible by the primary member, for example aggregate savings by benefit category (like Store Perks) or if the secondary member accepts or terminates the benefits-sharing arrangement.
