Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 24, 2026

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.

Medium May 21, 2026

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.

Medium Apr 26, 2026

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.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates CCPA/CPRA Cal. Civ. Code §1798.120 (right to opt out of sale/sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising) and CPRA's sensitive personal information opt-out right under §1798.121. It also engages GLBA Section 502 restrictions on using nonpublic personal financial information for marketing and advertising. GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interests and Art. 21 objection rights are relevant for EU users. The FTC Act Section 5 unfair or deceptive practices standard applies domestically.
