"Thank you for your request. These rights are for California residents only."

That's the response given if I request that Walmart not sell my personal information.

If you'd like to try, go to https://walmart.com and click on the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link at the bottom of the page.

They're quite clear that the option is limited to California residents, but I was hoping to see what their rejection notice was and whether it was as blunt as Walmart's.

Turns out, they require that you submit a fair bit of personal info before you can get a response, so I gave it a pass.
