Acorns updated the effective date of its Privacy Notice from May 19, 2025 to April 30, 2026. This is a administrative update to when the policy takes effect. The change itself does not appear to alter what data Acorns collects, how it uses your information, or your privacy rights, but it does establish a new date from which the privacy terms apply.

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
This change updates only the effective date of the Privacy Notice, moving it from May 19, 2025 to April 30, 2026. The change appears to be administrative and does not modify substantive privacy practices, data handling obligations, or disclosures. No change to vendor obligations, DPA requirements, or compliance posture appears to follow from this date adjustment alone. Confirm that no substantive policy modifications were made outside the scope of this detected change.
FTC Act (general privacy and unfair or deceptive practices authority); GLBA (if applicable to Acorns' banking products); state privacy laws (CCPA, CPRA, and similar). No specific regulatory exposure appears created by a date change alone.
