LOW

Consumer Impact

This change adds a new navigation element labeled 'Our Pledge' to Acorns' privacy policy interface. The substantive privacy terms, data collection practices, and user rights described in the policy remain unchanged. This appears to be a UI or structural update to how the privacy policy content is organized or presented, with no material modification to the privacy commitments or obligations stated in the policy itself.

Governance Analysis

This change adds a navigational element to the privacy policy interface. Without visibility into the content of 'Our Pledge', the operational significance of this addition cannot be fully assessed. If 'Our Pledge' contains substantive commitments, disclosures, or rights modifications not captured in the diff, further review is warranted.
