Third-Party Data Broker Sourcing for Behavioral Profiling

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Data broker sourcing means Cash App may know things about you beyond what you shared, and this enriched profile is used for targeted advertising and personalization — a practice with significant CCPA/CPRA implications and limited consumer visibility.

Consumer impact

Cash App collects an exceptionally broad range of personal data including biometric facial scans, Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, and full financial account information, and uses this data to build behavioral and credit risk profiles — including by purchasing supplementary data from third-party data brokers. Your data is also explicitly used to train AI and machine learning models, and is shared with affiliates, credit bureaus, fraud detection partners, merchants, and advertising platforms. You can limit some data collection by disabling precise location access and contact list permissions in your device settings, and California residents can submit a data deletion or opt-out request via Cash App's in-app privacy settings.

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    California residents should navigate to the 'Additional Information for Residents of Certain U.S. States' section of Cash App's Privacy Notice to find opt-out of sale/sharing instructions and submit a request. Look for a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' option in app settings.

Applicable agencies
