Publix Super Markets

Employee-owned and privately held, which is a genuinely different governance structure — no external shareholder pressure to monetise customer data — and simultaneously means less market scrutiny, although because of its employee shareholder base Publix still files annual Form 10-K reports with the SEC (its stock is not traded on an established securities market). Both facts belong in an honest read: better incentive, worse visibility. Publix also operates in-store pharmacies, placing prescription records alongside its Club Publix loyalty data, the same combination flagged in the Kroger and Albertsons rows.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (Non-public). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, Lakeland, Florida — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
