Reissued 2026-10-07: this change was first recorded in reverse as CA-X-001127, which was withdrawn; this record describes it in the order it happened. Robinhood restructured its privacy policy, effective March 18, 2026. The policy now explicitly covers Robinhood Social (a social media product) alongside financial services, and clarifies that Social data is subject to US state privacy laws rather than the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The updated terms add new data collection categories including AI chatbot conversation data and gifting transaction information, expand geolocation collection from GPS-only to approximate or precise location, and add language about AI agent interactions and their limitations.
Consumers: When you chat with a Robinhood AI chatbot, your conversation is collected and may be used to customize responses.
Consumers: Robinhood can now collect your approximate location via IP address or precise location via GPS, and may require precise location to trade certain products.
Consumers: Robinhood Social operates under different privacy rules than financial services; state privacy laws apply instead of federal banking privacy law.
Data controllers: Organizations using Robinhood may need to update their own privacy notices to reflect these new data collection practices.
The updated privacy policy now applies to Robinhood Social, a new social media product, alongside Robinhood's financial services. The policy explicitly states that Robinhood collects conversation and input data when you interact with AI chatbots on the application or website, though it clarifies these responses are informational only and not investment advice. Geolocation collection has been expanded from GPS-only to include approximate or precise location data in accordance with device permissions; precise geolocation may be required to trade Events Contracts. You can review the updated privacy notices for each Robinhood entity and adjust device location permissions in your mobile device settings.
→ Review the updated Robinhood privacy notices for each entity (Robinhood Financial LLC, Robinhood Securities LLC, Robinhood Crypto LLC, Robinhood Money LLC, Robinhood Credit Inc., Robinhood Derivatives LLC, Robinhood Asset Management LLC, Robinhood Ventures DE LLC, Robinhood Ventures Fund I) to understand how your data is processed.
→ Adjust device location permissions in your mobile device settings if you do not wish to share approximate or precise geolocation data with Robinhood.
→ Review Robinhood's AI chatbot disclaimer that responses are informational only and not investment advice before relying on chatbot interactions for trading decisions.
