This addition explicitly documents ongoing re-authorization for continuous account access beyond initial aggregation, which is a material expansion of credential access permissions.
This new provision clarifies Wealthfront's non-compliance with DNT signals and provides conditional reassurance about third-party tracking authorization, which is important for privacy-conscious users.
This provision was replaced with a more emphatic version titled 'No Selling or Trading of Personal Information' with strengthened language ('Ever'), suggesting the prior version lacked sufficient emphasis.
This provision was consolidated and replaced with the more detailed 'Ongoing Third-Party Account Credential Re-Access Authorization' provision, reducing the high-severity rating by narrowing focus to credential handling rather than service provider names.
This provision was entirely removed from the current version, suggesting Wealthfront either consolidated it elsewhere or deprioritized explicit marketing opt-out disclosures.
Removal of this provision eliminates explicit contractual language protecting children's data, which may reflect either consolidation into general terms or a deliberate de-emphasis of child protection commitments.
Removal of state-specific CCPA rights language suggests Wealthfront may have relocated these rights to a separate California-specific privacy notice or consolidated them into general privacy disclosures.
Severity downgraded from high to medium, and specific regulatory justification language was added explaining the rationale for deletion restrictions.
Provision expanded with specific details about vendor destruction requirements and conditional consent mechanisms for biometric data.
Renamed from 'Data Transfer in Merger or Acquisition' to include 'Asset Sale,' and expanded to include additional scenarios like financing due diligence, bankruptcy, and transition of service.
Provision renamed and significantly expanded with concrete examples and specific technical methods (geo-location, device identifiers, browsing pattern analysis) used for cross-device matching.
Severity downgraded from high to medium, and provision expanded to explicitly include onward transfer rights by third-party service providers with enumerated data types (SSN, financial and credit information).
1 provision unchanged.
