Why it matters

You may not receive direct notification when important terms change, and simply continuing to use the app — even without reading the new terms — is treated as legally binding acceptance.

Consumer impact

By agreeing to Public.com's Terms of Service, users waive their right to sue the company in court or participate in class action lawsuits, and instead must resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration. Public retains broad discretion to suspend or terminate accounts, modify services, and limit its own financial liability to users. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Public within 30 days of first creating your account.

Applicable agencies

  • Federal Trade Commission (ftc)
    Oversees unfair or deceptive business practices and can investigate companies that mislead consumers about data collection, sharing, or use.
    Who can file: Anyone affected by the company's practices (US or international)
    What you need: Your account details, a timeline of relevant events, and a description of the specific issue
    What to expect: Complaints inform FTC enforcement priorities and investigations but do not result in individual resolution or compensation
