Walmart Insurance Services Privacy Notice

• Updated “Contact Us” Information

This Privacy Notice (Notice) describes how and why Walmart Insurance Services (WIS) collects, uses and discloses nonpublic personal information as part of its business. WIS provides health insurance brokerage services to you using online services and live interactions with WIS insurance agents, such as phone and email. We are not an insurance provider. We also provide information and education on various health insurance coverage options that are tailored to the unique needs of inquiring consumers.

WIS collects information from you through its online services, such as its website, WIS insurance agents, and third parties that support our business. To use the WIS website, webforms and agent services you must share personally identifiable information with us. We use the information it collects to review a list of available health insurance products and services and tailor a health insurance coverage quote from third party health insurers that is unique to you. If you choose to accept a quote, WIS will use your information to support you in executing a coverage with the health insurer.

This Notice applies to Walmart Insurance Services, LLC, referred to in this Notice as “WIS.” This Notice applies to WIS, its employees, and the services it provides, such as through websites we own and operate.

Please note that the insurance companies that issue your policies and our marketing partners, such as social media sites, may have nonpublic personal information about you. This Notice does not apply to information collection by other parties, including websites maintained by other companies, such as insurers and social media sites, even if you use their sites and services to connect with us. You should review the privacy policies made available by these other parties, which will apply to any information that is collected, used or disclosed by them.

• Name, date of birth, and contact information, such as your postal address, email address, and phone number;

• Individual preferences and characteristics, such as smoker status and physical activity;
• Device and online identifiers;
• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information and banking information; and
• Any other information you choose to provide, such as during telephone interviews with our agents.

WIS collects information in the following ways:

• Passively collected from a device used to access WIS online services, including the WIS website and webforms; and,
• From insurance support organizations (in such cases, the insurance support organization may retain the information and disclose it to other persons).
