Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) is a publicly traded, North Carolina-incorporated home-improvement retailer operating stores and an app. Its own privacy statement discloses that it infers new information about customers and combines it with data from trusted third parties, deploys automated license-plate-reader (ALPR) cameras in some store parking areas, and classifies some of its advertising/marketing/analytics practices as a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal information under state privacy laws, sharing identifiers and purchase data with home-improvement service partners and financial institutions. Corporate ownership is traceable through routine SEC 10-K filings, though its Exhibit 21.1 subsidiary list names only two subsidiaries and states all others were omitted under a standard SEC immateriality exemption. No FTC, state-AG action, or disclosed data breach was found in the sources checked; Lowe's 10-K states ordinary-course litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect, which is treated here as an absence of a documented privacy/security incident rather than affirmative evidence of a clean record.
