Impact Summary

Medium Negative for users
Affected users
All users US users

SoFi's updated Privacy Notice contains two substantive policy changes. First, the company expanded the scope of tracking technologies it uses and discloses; previously the policy described cookies and their use in general terms, but the updated language explicitly states the company uses 'pixels and other tracking technologies' and shares collected information with 'social media, advertising, and analytics partners.' Second, the company modified its consent structure: previously users could 'choose not to allow some types of cookies,' but the updated terms state 'If you do not make a selection, you agree to our use of these technologies,' establishing opt-out rather than opt-in consent for tracking technologies.

What this means for you

The updated terms establish a more permissive consent model for tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that users could 'choose not to allow some types of cookies' (opt-in structure). The revised language now states 'If you do not make a selection, you agree to our use of these technologies' (opt-out structure). This means that continued use of the website without affirmative rejection constitutes acceptance of cookies, pixels, and data sharing with advertising and analytics partners. The updated terms also explicitly disclose that SoFi shares collected information with 'social media, advertising, and analytics partners,' providing more specificity about data sharing destinations. You can decline the Privacy Preference Center or decline all optional tracking technologies through the updated preference settings.

What you can do

Access the Privacy Preference Center on SoFi's website and affirmatively decline cookies, pixels, and optional tracking technologies if you do not wish your data to be collected and shared with advertising partners

Review the updated Privacy Notice to understand which tracking technologies SoFi uses and which advertising and analytics partners receive your data
