In an update detected on September 10, 2026, Acorns added promotional messaging to its privacy policy document. The added content includes a callout stating 'Lost a bet? Want it back? TAP HERE — we'll match it up to $50 and invest it for you.' This appears to be a lost-bet promotion offer inserted into the policy navigation or header area. The change is formatting and promotional in nature rather than substantive to privacy practices or user obligations.
