This clause establishes the scope of internal corporate data sharing within Acorns' organizational structure. It defines which entities within the corporate family may access user information and specifies the permissible purposes for such sharing.
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.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GLBA (15 U.S.C. §6802(b)) governs sharing between affiliated financial institutions; consumers have a right to opt out of affiliate sharing for marketing under GLBA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) §603(d). Regulation S-P (17 CFR Part 248.11) requires annual privacy notices disclosing affiliate sharing practices. CCPA/CPRA §1798.140(d) defines affiliated entities separately from third parties, with distinct opt-out requirements.
