On February 6, 2021, CaptureRx and Walmart experienced a data breach where an unauthorized third party gained access to its servers where sensitive pharmacy data was stored regarding clients. CaptureRx and Walmart waited until May 5, 2021 to notify people that their information was accessed.

California offers extra protections and legal rights to its residents through the California Consumer Privacy Act. CaptureRx received information about Walmart customers because it provides third party pharmacy services to pharmacies. If you were a pharmacy customer of Walmart in California, your information may have been involved in the breach.
