Change Summary
Walmart's privacy notice was updated to disclose voice interaction collection practices and expand state-specific privacy rights. The updated terms now explicitly state that when users interact with Walmart's sites using voice features (such as voice search or the Sparky AI assistant), Walmart receives a text transcription of the interaction, though it does not use voice data for biometric analysis. Voice interactions are only captured when users actively activate a voice feature. Additionally, Connecticut residents were added to the list of states receiving additional information about third-party disclosures, alongside Oregon and Minnesota residents.
