Detailed behavioral data including navigation patterns and mouse movements may be recorded by Acorns during platform interactions, though both the deployment and recording are qualified as non-certain.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains apparent duplicate language ('This technology may record may occasionally record'), suggesting a drafting error in the source. The claim preserves the qualified nature of the recording ('may occasionally') as written. An ellipsis in the excerpt also indicates potentially omitted intervening language.
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.
