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.
