SoFi updated its Privacy Notice on May 6, 2026 to reorganize and clarify how it collects and shares tracking data. The previous version described cookies and tracking as optional and subject to user preferences and a Privacy Preference Center. The updated version states that SoFi uses pixels and other tracking technologies to collect information, shares this data with social media, advertising, and analytics partners, and establishes that users who do not make a selection agree to these technologies. The updated terms also distinguish between Strictly Necessary Cookies, which cannot be disabled, and optional cookie categories that users can toggle off via buttons in the consent interface.

Consumers: If you do nothing, SoFi will use tracking technologies and share your data with marketing and analytics partners unless you actively opt out.

Consumers: The updated terms now state that your information is shared with specific types of partners, whereas the previous version described this more generally.

Consumers: The prior framing emphasized your right not to allow certain cookies; the updated version presumes consent unless you actively refuse.

What this means for you

The updated privacy notice establishes a consent model in which users are presumed to accept cookies, pixels, and tracking technologies unless they affirmatively decline. The revised terms state that 'if you do not make a selection, you agree to our use of these technologies' and that SoFi shares collected information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. Strictly Necessary Cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for site functionality, but users can toggle off optional cookie categories via buttons in the consent interface.

What you can do

Review the updated Privacy Notice to understand the default tracking settings.

Toggle off optional cookie categories (Functional, Performance, etc.) by using the button controls in the Manage Consent Preferences interface if you prefer not to be tracked.
