Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Walmart’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
High Compliance with Export Control Laws

Non-compliance with export control laws can carry legal consequences imposed by law, and users—not Walmart—bear the compliance obligation under this clause.

High Class Action Waiver Requirement

The waiver prevents users from joining with others to pursue shared grievances collectively, which can make individual claims economically impractical to pursue.

High Voice assistant continuously listens for wake word

This clause establishes that continuous microphone access and listening occur as a baseline condition whenever the Walmart app is open, not only when a user actively invokes the assistant.

High Voice assistant listens continuously when app is open

Continuous microphone access is active for the entire duration the app is open, not only when a user deliberately activates a voice feature.

High Mandatory Individual Arbitration Agreement

Users give up the right to have covered disputes heard by a judge or jury in court, and arbitration decisions are final and binding.
