Impact Summary

Medium Negative for users
Affected users
All users US users

Chime removed detailed sharing disclosures and opt-out question-and-answer format from their privacy policy, replacing it with a single line directing users to update Privacy Settings via their account or mobile app. Previously, the policy explicitly stated whether The Bancorp shared personal information for various purposes and whether customers could limit sharing; the updated version consolidates this into a single instruction to login and adjust settings.

1 protection removed

Consumers: Customers no longer see a clear yes/no answer about whether their data is shared for each specific business purpose; they must log into their account to understand sharing practices.

What this means for you

The updated policy no longer explicitly discloses whether Chime or its banking partner The Bancorp shares personal information for specific purposes such as marketing, joint marketing, or affiliate use. Previously, each sharing scenario included a 'Yes' or 'No' answer and stated whether customers could limit sharing. The revised policy directs users to login to chime.com or the Chime Mobile application and update their Privacy Settings to control sharing. You can adjust sharing preferences through your account settings, but the policy no longer itemizes which sharing practices are subject to customer limits.

What you can do

Login to your account at chime.com or the Chime Mobile application to review and adjust your Privacy Settings.

Review your current sharing preferences to confirm which data practices you have opted into or out of.
