The clause establishes a data-sharing framework that extends beyond Acorns' direct marketing activities to encompass third-party marketing operations. This authorization affects the scope of entities with access to user personal information and the purposes for which that information may be used.
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.
