This provision establishes the operational scope of data distribution within Acorns' service delivery model. The authorization covers both internal entities and external vendors necessary for core service functions and ancillary business operations, with confidentiality obligations imposed contractually on recipients.
The updated policy removes explicit language describing how data flows when users sign in via Apple or Google, including what information those services share with Acorns and how it is used.
