Consent to session replay technology is obtained through continued use rather than an affirmative opt-in, meaning users who keep using the service are treated as having agreed to potential recording of their interactions.
Interpretive note: The word 'thereafter' implies this consent mechanism is triggered after some prior event or disclosure described earlier in the policy, which is not captured in this excerpt. That temporal condition is noted as omitted material. The consent covers 'potential' recording, which is preserved in the claim.
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. Previously, the policy stated that Acorns receives information such as name and email address through third-party sign-in services solely to manage accounts and provide services. The revised language also shifts the AI chatbot from an optional feature users 'may access' to a stated service Acorns 'uses' to direct users to internal articles. Users no longer have a published explanation of third-party sign-in data practices in the privacy notice, though the terms suggest data shared through third-party services remains subject to those providers' terms.
