Affirm updated the marketing language describing its products and features on the privacy policy's app download section. The previous text highlighted account management and payments; the updated language emphasizes purchasing power discovery and multi-channel shopping. Additionally, references to specific features like the Affirm Card, browser extension, and Apple Pay integration were reworded for clarity, and a standalone 'Terms apply' disclaimer was removed from the Apple Pay section.

What this means for you

The updated privacy policy revises the marketing text describing Affirm's mobile app and available shopping features, but makes no changes to data collection, processing, or sharing practices. The removal of the 'Terms apply' disclaimer from the Apple Pay section is a formatting change to the policy document itself, not a substantive change to how Affirm's terms operate or what data Affirm collects. Users' actual rights and obligations under Affirm's privacy and service terms remain unchanged.

Key Clauses Affected

App marketing language

Reworded descriptions of app features and shopping capabilities; updated terminology for card, extension, and digital wallet offerings.

Apple Pay disclaimer

Removed standalone 'Terms apply' text; integrated digital wallet features into consolidated description.
