What it is

Everything on the Acorns platform belongs to Acorns, and you are only allowed to use it for your own personal investing — you cannot copy, share commercially, or build products using Acorns content.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your license to use Acorns is strictly personal and non-transferable — any commercial use of Acorns content, including educational or journalistic use of platform data, could constitute a breach of these Terms.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

This clause means screenshots, financial content, or data you access through Acorns cannot be repurposed, sold, or shared commercially, which is relevant for journalists, researchers, or developers who want to use Acorns data.

View original clause language
The Services and all content therein, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, are the property of Acorns or its content suppliers and are protected by United States and international copyright laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Intellectual property clauses are governed by the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA, 18 U.S.C. § 1030) for unauthorized access. Financial data licensing may also implicate SEC Regulation SCI and FINRA rules if market data or investment research is involved. Fair use doctrines under 17 U.S.C. § 107 may limit enforceability against journalistic or educational use. (2)
