Robinhood expanded the scope of its privacy statement on March 13, 2026 to explicitly cover Robinhood Social, a social media product, and reorganized how it describes regulatory applicability across its financial and non-financial services. The updated policy states that financial products remain subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, while Robinhood Social is subject to state privacy laws. The practical difference is that users of the social media product now have explicit notice that different privacy rules apply to that service compared to financial products.
The updated privacy statement now explicitly applies to Robinhood Social, Robinhood's social media product, in addition to its financial services. The revised policy states that personally identifiable information collected through Robinhood Social is subject to US state privacy laws, while financial products remain subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. This change provides clearer notice about which privacy framework applies to each service users access.
The updated privacy statement now explicitly governs Robinhood Social alongside financial services, establishing that different regulatory frameworks apply to different products. This clarifies user expectations about which privacy rules protect each service and consolidates disclosures into a single comprehensive statement rather than requiring users to reference multiple separate notices.
→ Review the updated privacy statement to understand which regulatory framework (GLBA or state privacy laws) applies to each Robinhood service you use.
→ If you use Robinhood Social, review the state privacy law disclosures relevant to your jurisdiction.
→ Users of Robinhood Social may not realize their data is subject to state privacy law rules rather than federal GLBA protections.
→ Users relying on prior notice of GLBA privacy rules may not understand the different framework applying to social features.
Updated statement now explicitly applies to Robinhood Social, a social media product operated by Robinhood Tape, LLC, subject to state privacy laws rather than GLBA.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Robinhood restructured its privacy policy on March 13, 2026 to consolidate disclosure of practices across both financial and non-financial services under a single statement. The change adds explicit coverage of Robinhood Social (operated by Robinhood Tape, LLC) and clarifies regulatory applicability: GLBA for financial entities, state privacy laws for social product. This is primarily a disclosure and organizational change; however, organizations that integrate Robinhood services should verify that vendor privacy documentation reflects the expanded scope and confirm which entities are in-scope for their own privacy and data processing agreements.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (financial services); applicable US state privacy laws (Robinhood Social, including California Consumer Privacy Act if applicable by scope); FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices in privacy disclosure)
