What it is

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Location and device data can reveal sensitive information about your daily habits, movements, and financial activity patterns, and this data is used in profiling and fraud detection processes.

Interpretive note: The document describes location and device data collection at a high level without specifying the granularity of location tracking, frequency of collection, or exact downstream uses in profiling systems, creating uncertainty about the full practical scope.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Revolut collects your device location, IP address, and behavioural data from app usage, which may be used to build a profile of your patterns and inform automated decisions about fraud detection or product eligibility.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Review location permissions for the Revolut app in your phone's operating system settings and restrict location access to 'only while using the app' or deny it entirely if you do not use location-dependent features. You can also contact dpo@revolut.com to ask how location data is used.

— Excerpt from Revolut's Revolut Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Collection of location data and device identifiers engages UK GDPR and PECR. Location data is treated as sensitive in many regulatory contexts given its capacity to reveal information about health, religion, political views, and personal relationships. PECR requires consent for certain cookie and device data collection. The ICO has specific guidance on location data and device tracking. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Location and behavioural data collection is standard in mobile financial services for fraud prevention and security purposes, which are legitimate use cases. However, the use of this data for profiling beyond fraud detection, such as for product eligibility or marketing, requires a clear lawful basis and proportionality assessment. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: UK GDPR and PECR apply in the UK. Illinois BIPA does not typically cover location data but device biometric features used for authentication may be in scope for US operations. California CCPA includes geolocation data in its definition of sensitive personal information with heightened protections. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Location and device data shared with analytics or advertising vendors requires data processing agreements and, where the vendor acts as a controller, controller-to-controller agreements. The data minimization principle requires that only location data necessary for the specific purpose be collected and retained. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that location data is only collected with appropriate consent or under a clearly documented legitimate interests basis, that retention periods for location and device data are minimized, and that the use of this data in profiling systems is disclosed with sufficient clarity to satisfy UK GDPR transparency requirements.
