Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

Cash App collects your location data and detailed device information, including when and where you use the app.

Why it matters

Continuous collection of location and device data creates a detailed picture of your movements and habits, which can be used for profiling or shared with third parties.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Geolocation data constitutes sensitive personal information under CCPA and several other state privacy statutes, triggering specific disclosure, consent, and opt-out obligations. Compliance teams should verify whether geolocation sharing with third parties meets state-law requirements for sensitive data.

Consumer impact

Cash App collects highly sensitive personal data including biometric facial scans, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, geolocation, and detailed transaction histories, and shares this information with affiliates, advertisers, financial partners, and law enforcement. Users have limited ability to opt out of certain data uses, particularly marketing and behavioral profiling, though state residents (e.g. California, Colorado) may have broader rights including data deletion and opt-out of data sharing. You can submit a data access, deletion, or opt-out request through Cash App's privacy request portal at https://cash.app/legal/us/en-us/privacy.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    Go to your phone's Settings, find Cash App under app permissions, and set Location access to 'Never' or 'While Using' to limit geolocation data collection.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has enforcement authority over deceptive or unfair location data collection and sharing practices by consumer app providers.
