SoFi updated its Privacy Notice on May 5, 2026 with primarily formatting and navigation changes to the publicly visible document structure. The substantive privacy-related language that appears in the diff shows a shift in how cookie and tracking technology disclosures are presented: the previous version stated SoFi uses pixels and tracking technologies and shares information with third-party partners, while the updated version introduces a 'Privacy Preference Center' framework that describes cookies and tracking as information collection methods and notes that users can choose not to allow some types of cookies. The practical effect is that cookie preference controls now appear to have an explicit opt-out mechanism rather than an opt-in default.
The updated Privacy Notice now establishes a Privacy Preference Center that allows users to decline certain types of cookies rather than requiring affirmative consent to proceed. Previously, the policy stated that failure to make a selection meant automatic agreement to use of tracking technologies; the revised language states users can choose not to allow some types of cookies. This creates an explicit opt-out mechanism for cookie preferences instead of an opt-in requirement.

Replaced deemed-consent model (silence equals agreement) with explicit opt-out controls allowing users to decline non-essential cookies
