What it is

California residents have specific legal rights to see, delete, and correct their Acorns data and to stop Acorns from selling or sharing it, without being penalized for doing so.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you live in California, you can legally demand that Acorns show you exactly what data it holds on you, delete it, correct errors, or stop sharing it with third parties — and Acorns cannot deny you services for making these requests.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Delete Your Data

California residents can submit a data deletion, access, or opt-out-of-sharing request by emailing privacy@acorns.com with your name and account email. Acorns must respond within 45 days under CCPA.
