Summary

Mercury's privacy policy establishes the terms under which the company collects, uses, and shares financial and operational data from business account holders and associated individuals through its banking, lending, and expense management products. The policy authorizes Mercury to collect transaction history, account balances, device information, and behavioral patterns, and permits sharing this data with third-party service providers, affiliates, and business partners for purposes including analytics and marketing. California residents are entitled to submit requests to access, delete, or opt out of certain data sharing categories through Mercury's privacy portal.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Mercury's Privacy Policy governing the collection, use, sharing, and retention of personal information for users of Mercury's business banking platform, operating under applicable U.S. federal and state privacy law frameworks. The policy states that Mercury collects a broad range of personal and financial data including identity information, transaction data, device and usage data, and inferred characteristics, and the terms authorize sharing this information with affiliated entities, service providers, financial partners, and in some cases third parties for marketing and analytics purposes. Notably, the policy asserts the right to collect and use inferred data and behavioral signals for product improvement and marketing, and reserves broad discretion to share data with 'business partners' beyond core service delivery, though applicable law including CCPA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act provisions may constrain how some of these rights apply in practice. California residents are granted specific opt-out and deletion rights under CCPA, and the policy acknowledges GLBA applicability given Mercury's financial services context, which creates a layered regulatory compliance obligation spanning FTC enforcement, CFPB oversight, and state-level consumer protection regimes. Material compliance considerations include ensuring that consent mechanisms, data retention schedules, and third-party data sharing arrangements are consistent with GLBA financial privacy requirements and CCPA's expanded rights framework, particularly given Mercury's role as a banking-adjacent platform serving business customers.

What changed Mercury's privacy policy cookie table was updated on June 12, 2026 to add one new cookie entry and reorder existing entries. A Google Analytics cookie pattern (^_dc_gtm_UA-.*) was added to the Analytics category, and the tcm cookie entry was moved in the list. This represents a minor technical clarification of tracked cookies rather than a substantive change to Mercury's data practices.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy adds an additional Google Analytics cookie pattern to the list of disclosed tracking mechanisms. This cookie (matching the pattern ^_dc_gtm_UA-.*) is categorized as Analytics. The change does not alter Mercury's data collection practices or user rights; it refines the transparency disclosures already available in the policy.
