Acorns removed two items from their Terms of Service document on April 18, 2026: the mention of a $20 Research Bonus Investment Promotion and the reference to a Privacy Policy link in the footer navigation. The first change eliminates a promotion listing from the document index; the second removes a direct link to the Privacy Policy from the footer, though the Privacy Policy itself remains accessible elsewhere in the document structure.
The updated Terms of Service removes references to a $20 Research Bonus Investment Promotion and eliminates a Privacy Policy link from the footer navigation. These are minor organizational and promotional changes to the document structure rather than changes to substantive service terms, user rights, or obligations. No material change to the terms users operate under occurs as a result of these removals.
This change has minimal operational significance. The removal of a promotional offer listing and a footer link represents routine document maintenance rather than a change to substantive service terms, user rights, or company obligations. The Privacy Policy remains available within the document structure.
