What this means for you

This change has minimal practical impact on consumers. Acorns simply added a clickable link to its Privacy Policy in the Terms of Service footer, making the policy easier to locate and read. This is an accessibility improvement rather than a substantive change to what data Acorns collects, how it uses your information, or what rights you have. No action is required on your part.
