New customers have a limited window before sharing begins; the opt-out mechanism exists but does not necessarily prevent sharing during the initial 30-day period.
Interpretive note: The excerpt states two independent legal propositions: the opt-out mechanism and the 30-day new customer sharing commencement. Both are included in the canonical claim as they are closely related, but the 30-day rule is an independent condition that could stand alone. Confidence is medium because the excerpt does not clarify whether a timely opt-out prevents sharing within the 30-day window.
The updated privacy notice now explicitly discloses that Chime shares customer information with other financial companies for joint marketing purposes, whereas the prior 2017 version stated Chime did not engage in this sharing. This represents a material change in the stated data handling practice. Under the updated terms, customers can limit this sharing by logging into their Chime account at chime.com or through the Chime Mobile application and updating their Privacy Settings.
View change record →The updated policy no longer explicitly discloses whether Chime or its banking partner The Bancorp shares personal information for specific purposes such as marketing, joint marketing, or affiliate use. Previously, each sharing scenario included a 'Yes' or 'No' answer and stated whether customers could limit sharing. The revised policy directs users to login to chime.com or the Chime Mobile application and update their Privacy Settings to control sharing. You can adjust sharing preferences through your account settings, but the policy no longer itemizes which sharing practices are subject to customer limits.
View change record →The updated notice states Chime no longer shares your personal information (such as transaction history and creditworthiness) with other financial companies for joint marketing purposes. This is a narrowing of third-party data sharing compared to the prior language. The notice also clarifies that Chime does not share certain affiliate information, which may further limit how your data is used by related companies. These changes reduce the scope of data sharing disclosed in the privacy notice.
View change record →You can opt out of nonaffiliate sharing, but if you are a new customer, sharing may already begin 30 days from the date the notice was sent, regardless of whether you have opted out.
