Yes, you do. Mayo actually is one of the fastest spoiling foods if not kept under refrigeration. Nine times out of ten, when people get sick at an outdoor picnic on a sunny, warm day, they get sick on the potato salad.

I would suggest you refrigerate the opened container. If it was in the refrigerated section when you bought it, keep it refrigerated. If it was not in the refrigerated section, check the label for instructions like "refrigerate after opening". Absent those instructions, refrigeration would probably help protect flavor even if food safety might not be an issue.
