Resolved clauseRESOLVED: Shareholders of Lowe?s Companies, Inc. (the Company) request that the Board of Directors issue a report, at reasonable cost and omitting confidential, privileged, and proprietary information, assessing risks to customers data privacy rights arising from the Companys sharing of sensitive customer data with third parties, and describing any strategies beyond legal compliance the Company may deploy to mitigate those risks.
Supporting statementOur Company collects sensitive personal information about its customers and visitors such as precise geolocation, race, and ethnicity information and this information may be disclosed ?as we deem appropriate or necessary in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities.?1 Our Company also discloses that it may use Automated License Plate Recognition systems when permitted by law, and that this collected vehicle license plate data may be shared with ?law enforcement upon appropriate request and solely in connection with criminal investigations.?2 We are concerned that our Company?s collection of sensitive personal information and license plate data may be used by law enforcement in ways that potentially could violate the civil liberties and data privacy expectations of our Company?s customers. Civil rights advocates have raised concerns about the widespread collection and use of license plate data by law enforcement agencies.3 For example, the United States (?U.S.?) Border Patrol reportedly has a program to monitor drivers to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.4 We also believe that our Company faces reputational risks associated with federal immigration raids that may be conducted on or near our Company?s premises. In May 2025, U.S. Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller reportedly directed Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials to target its raids at Home Depot and other retail stores where day laborers typically gather for hire.5 In December 2025, border patrol agents reportedly detained immigrant day laborers at one of our Company?s stores in New Orleans.6 While we strongly agree that our Company must comply with all lawful subpoenas for data on our Company?s customers, we also believe that our Company?s data collection and data sharing policies should be focused on serving the needs of our Company?s customers. By publishing a report as requested by this proposal, our Company can assure its customers and shareholders that the Company has appropriately sought to address these data privacy risks. 1 Lowes Companies, ?Lowe?s U.S. Privacy Statement,?
