Mercury can use your personal and financial data to send you marketing messages including from partners, and to improve and develop new products by analyzing how you use the platform.
This analysis describes what Mercury's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Using financial account data to inform marketing by Mercury's partners goes beyond core service delivery and means your banking behavior may influence commercial outreach you receive.
Interpretive note: The policy does not clearly distinguish between Mercury's own marketing and partner marketing in all contexts, and the precise scope of GLBA opt-out obligations depends on the classification of data recipients as affiliated or non-affiliated entities.
Mercury may use your account and behavioral data to send partner marketing communications and to develop new financial products, which means your banking activity data may inform commercial decisions beyond your own account management.

"We may use personal information to send you marketing communications about our products and services and those of our partners, to analyze and improve our services and develop new products and features, and to personalize your experience on our platform.— Excerpt from Mercury's Mercury Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Use of nonpublic personal financial information for marketing by non-affiliated third parties is regulated under GLBA's opt-out notice requirements. The FTC enforces GLBA against non-bank financial institutions. Additionally, the CAN-SPAM Act governs commercial email marketing, and TCPA provisions apply to marketing communications sent via text or automated calling. CCPA governs the use of personal data for advertising purposes for California residents. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of financial data for partner marketing creates GLBA opt-out obligations that must be operationally implemented. Failure to provide adequate opt-out mechanisms before sharing data with non-affiliated third parties for marketing is a known area of GLBA enforcement. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have CCPA opt-out rights for use of data for cross-context behavioral advertising. CAN-SPAM and TCPA apply nationally for electronic marketing communications. For any EU/EEA individuals whose data is processed, GDPR's lawful basis requirements for direct marketing would apply, though Mercury appears primarily US-focused. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Marketing partners who receive Mercury customer data for their own marketing purposes must be classified as third parties under CCPA rather than service providers, requiring appropriate contractual terms and opt-out disclosure to consumers. Mercury should audit all partner marketing arrangements to verify compliance with both GLBA opt-out requirements and CCPA. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit marketing consent and opt-out workflows, verify that GLBA annual privacy notices include accurate descriptions of marketing data sharing, and confirm that CAN-SPAM and TCPA compliance mechanisms are implemented for all marketing communication channels. Records of marketing opt-out requests should be maintained and honored promptly.
