Medium Jun 3, 2026

The updated Privacy Policy establishes that Affirm qualifies as a financial institution under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, meaning personal information collected in connection with Affirm services is governed by federal banking law rather than applicable state privacy laws. The policy now explicitly discloses collection of identity and profile information including full name, date of birth, Social Security number, email, mailing address, phone number, and password. The updated terms also disclose new data sharing arrangements with fraud prevention, identity verification, and risk intelligence providers, which were not previously detailed. You can contact Affirm's privacy team using the phone number provided in the updated policy to exercise data privacy rights.
