The clause establishes the operational mechanism by which Acorns transfers user transaction and account data to external commercial partners as part of its Earn program functionality. This data sharing is conditional on user activation of specific partner offers rather than automatic, defining the boundaries of third-party access to user information.
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.

Users who do not activate Earn offers operate under the baseline privacy policy without triggering this specific data-sharing mechanism.
