Acorns expanded its third-party sign-in service offerings beyond Apple to include Google and other providers, and revised its AI chatbot disclosure to state that the company 'may allow' access to AI features rather than stating it 'uses' a generative AI chatbot. The policy now explicitly describes data received through third-party sign-in services and clarifies that such data is controlled by the third-party provider. The updated AI section broadens the stated purposes for which AI systems process user data to include 'customer or account service assistance' and directing users to 'third party resources,' and adds a reminder that users are not communicating with a human when using these features.
1 obligation expanded

The updated policy clarifies that Acorns now supports third-party sign-in services such as Google in addition to Apple Sign-In, and that data shared through these services is controlled by the third-party provider, not Acorns. The policy also expands the stated purposes for which AI systems process user data to include account service assistance and directing users to third-party educational resources, and explicitly states that users are not communicating with a human when using AI features. These changes do not introduce new data collection but rather clarify existing practices and expand the scope of disclosed AI use cases.
