By the end of August, Wal-Mart will unveil a radically changed privacy policy, states CBS News.

The policy envisions a merged channel world, where consumers are as likely to use their phone and laptop to interact with Wal-Mart as much as they would walk into a store or speak with a call centre.

The policy talks about data not merely from a payment security and a purchase history perspective, but also from a security camera's and cellphone's perspective.
