Clause-Level Changes

New Provisions Added
Ongoing Third-Party Account Credential Re-Access Authorization
Medium

This addition explicitly documents ongoing re-authorization for continuous account access beyond initial aggregation, which is a material expansion of credential access permissions.

Full clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
No Response to Do Not Track Signals
Low

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.

Full clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Provisions Removed
No Sale or Trade of Personal Information
Low

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.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Third-Party Account Aggregation (Plaid and Yodlee)
High

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.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Marketing Communications Opt-Out
Low

This provision was entirely removed from the current version, suggesting Wealthfront either consolidated it elsewhere or deprioritized explicit marketing opt-out disclosures.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Children's Data Prohibition
Low

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.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
California CCPA Rights
Medium

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.

Removed clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Provisions Modified
Client Data Deletion Restriction
Medium

Severity downgraded from high to medium, and specific regulatory justification language was added explaining the rationale for deletion restrictions.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Biometric Data Collection and Vendor Destruction Requirement
Medium

Provision expanded with specific details about vendor destruction requirements and conditional consent mechanisms for biometric data.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Data Transfer in Merger or Acquisition
Medium

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.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Cross-Device Tracking and Browsing Activity Matching
Medium

Provision renamed and significantly expanded with concrete examples and specific technical methods (geo-location, device identifiers, browsing pattern analysis) used for cross-device matching.

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’
Home Lending Expanded Data Sharing
Medium

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).

Before/after clause text available with Compliance. See Compliance β†’

1 provision unchanged.
