Summary

This is Robinhood's privacy policy explaining how the company collects and uses your personal and financial data across its brokerage, crypto, and cash management services. Most importantly, Robinhood collects extensive financial information — including your Social Security number, bank account details, trading history, and device location — and shares it with affiliated companies, marketing partners, and third parties for business purposes. You can limit some data sharing for marketing by contacting Robinhood directly, and California residents can submit a formal request to know, delete, or opt out of the sale of their personal information.

Technical Summary

This document is Robinhood's US User Privacy Statement, governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by Robinhood Markets and its affiliated financial entities (including Robinhood Financial LLC, Robinhood Securities LLC, Robinhood Money LLC, and Robinhood Crypto LLC), with its legal basis rooted in contractual necessity, legal obligation, and consent under applicable US financial services and privacy laws. The statement obligates Robinhood to disclose the categories of personal information collected (including financial data, government-issued IDs, transaction history, device identifiers, and geolocation), the purposes for processing, and the third parties with whom data is shared, while granting users limited rights to access, correct, and delete their data subject to financial regulatory retention requirements. Notably, the policy permits sharing of personal information with affiliated companies, service providers, financial partners, and third parties for marketing purposes, and explicitly reserves the right to share data with law enforcement and regulators without user notification — a provision that, combined with broad 'business purposes' sharing language, creates elevated data exposure risk relative to consumer finance norms. The policy engages the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and its implementing Regulation P (12 CFR Part 1016), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA, Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq.), the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and state money transmission laws; material compliance considerations include CCPA opt-out rights for data sale/sharing, GLBA annual privacy notice obligations, and the interplay between CCPA consumer rights and GLBA exemptions that may limit deletion rights for brokerage account data.

Consumer impact Robinhood has expanded its privacy policy to include a new social media product (Robinhood Social) and additional corporate entities, meaning more of your personal data and online activity may now be collected and processed under this single policy. The policy also now references separate GLBA financial privacy notices for each individual entity, making it clearer which legal protections apply to your financial data. You can review the updated GLBA financial privacy notices linked in the policy for each Robinhood entity to understand exactly how your financial information is handled.
Why it matters Robinhood's privacy policy now covers a social media product and two new corporate entities, meaning a broader range of your personal data and online activity falls under this policy. Users of Robinhood Social should be aware that their data is subject to US state privacy laws rather than the stronger GLBA financial privacy protections.
