Why it matters

Your online behavior while using Betterment may be tracked and shared with advertisers, which is a significant data privacy consideration for many consumers.

Consumer impact

Betterment collects a broad range of personal and financial information, including transaction history, device data, and in some cases sensitive identifiers, and may share this with affiliates and third-party marketing partners. Users should be aware that their data can be used for cross-context behavioral advertising and joint marketing, although opt-out mechanisms are available. You can opt out of data sharing for marketing purposes by visiting Betterment's privacy settings or submitting a request through their designated privacy request portal.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Navigate to Betterment's privacy policy or cookie preference center and select the option to opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. You may also enable a Global Privacy Control signal in your browser.
