Why it matters

Understanding how your financial data is used within the platform helps you assess whether you are comfortable with Betterment's data practices as your financial services provider.

Consumer impact

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.
