Intuit may share your personal information, including data derived from your financial activity, with advertising networks and analytics companies who may use it for their own purposes.

Sharing financial and behavioral data with third-party advertising networks goes beyond what most consumers expect when filing taxes or managing their business accounts, and the acknowledgment that partners may use data for their own purposes limits Intuit's control over downstream use.
Interpretive note: The specific categories of personal information shared with advertising partners and the contractual constraints placed on those partners are not fully detailed in the global statement, creating interpretive uncertainty about the practical scope of sharing.
The updated privacy statement removes detailed disclosures about how Intuit uses cookies, pixels, and tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertising. Previously, the policy explicitly stated that Intuit and advertising partners may disclose information like IP addresses and device identifiers to show more relevant ads, and that users could opt-out through 'Customize Settings'. The revised statement now references only a separate Cookies Policy without reproducing this information inline. Users seeking specifics on cookie consent options and advertising data sharing must consult the linked Cookies Policy document.
View change record →The updated privacy policy removes prior explicit disclosures about third-party advertising cookies and opt-out mechanisms that were previously available to users. Specifically, the policy no longer states that users can decline third-party advertising cookies through a 'Customize Settings' option, nor does it describe how advertising partners may receive limited personal information like IP addresses and device identifiers for ad targeting. The footer now contains only a general reference to cookie management without the prior transparency on advertising partner data sharing. You can review Intuit's full Cookies Policy for current information on how cookies and advertising technologies are used.
View change record →Intuit's updated privacy statement now explicitly discloses that it shares limited personal information, such as IP addresses and device identifiers, with advertising partners to deliver targeted ads both on and off its sites. The company characterizes these practices as potentially constituting 'sharing' or 'targeted advertising' under applicable law, suggesting recognition of privacy regulations like CCPA or GDPR. You can decline the use of third-party advertising cookies by selecting the 'Customize Settings' option in the cookie consent interface.
View change record →Personal information you provide to TurboTax or QuickBooks may reach third-party advertising and analytics companies, who the policy acknowledges may use it for their own purposes, meaning your data can flow outside Intuit's control.

"We may share your personal information with third-party service providers, business partners, and advertising networks to help us deliver targeted advertising, analyze product usage, and improve our services. These third parties may use your information for their own purposes in accordance with their privacy policies.— Excerpt from Intuit's Intuit Privacy Statement
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Third-party data sharing for advertising engages CPRA's right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information and its restrictions on sensitive personal information. GDPR and UK GDPR require a lawful basis for sharing with third parties for advertising, typically consent, and the statement's reliance on legitimate interests for advertising-related sharing may face challenge under EU standards. The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices and may be engaged if sharing practices exceed what users reasonably expect based on disclosed purposes. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The statement's acknowledgment that third parties may use shared data for their own purposes creates a potential loss-of-control scenario that is particularly problematic given the sensitivity of financial data in Intuit's ecosystem, and may conflict with GLBA's restrictions on sharing nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated third parties. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have an express right under CPRA to opt out of the sharing of personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. EU and UK users' data sharing for advertising generally requires consent under GDPR. Illinois, Virginia, Colorado, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws impose similar opt-out requirements. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Data sharing agreements with advertising networks should be reviewed to determine whether they constitute a sale or sharing under applicable state law definitions, and whether downstream use restrictions are contractually enforceable. The statement's acknowledgment of third-party autonomous use may weaken Intuit's ability to contractually limit misuse. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit which specific third parties receive personal information for advertising and analytics, verify that opt-out mechanisms function correctly and cover all sharing categories, and confirm that GLBA opt-out notices address sharing with non-affiliated third parties for marketing. California-specific Do Not Sell or Share notices should be reviewed for current accuracy.
