This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Robinhood's Privacy Policy describes what personal information Robinhood collects about you—including your social security number, facial geometry from your photos, location, and chatbot conversations—and how it uses and shares that information, including with marketing partners and for AI development. Critically, if your information is covered by federal financial privacy law, your state privacy rights such as those under California's CCPA may not apply, meaning Robinhood may have no obligation to let you access or delete that data. Robinhood's chatbot and AI feature outputs are designated as informational only and are not investment advice.
Robinhood's Privacy Policy establishes the terms under which Robinhood collects, uses, retains, and shares user personal data across its services. The document authorizes collection of sensitive identity data—including social security numbers, facial geometry extracted from selfies for biometric identity verification, precise geolocation conditioned on access to certain product features, and chatbot conversation data—and permits use of that data, including for AI training. Robinhood may share personal identifiers such as hashed email addresses and device IDs with marketing partners for cross-platform targeted advertising, and discloses that vendors collecting photo and voice data for identity purposes may also collect biometric data. Retention of certain data may extend up to five years following the end of the user relationship, and the document expressly limits the scope of state privacy rights—including CCPA rights—where user information is governed by federal financial privacy laws such as the GLBA, potentially eliminating Robinhood's obligation to honor Data Subject Requests for a material portion of user data.
As a Robinhood user, your most sensitive personal data—including your social security number, facial geometry extracted from photos you submit, and your chatbot conversations—is collected and may be retained for up to five years after you stop using the service. Your chatbot inputs and other data may be used to train Robinhood's AI systems. Robinhood and third-party partners may use cookies, pixels, and device identifiers to deliver targeted ads to you on Robinhood and other platforms, and Robinhood may share your hashed email address or device ID with marketing partners for this purpose. If your information is governed by federal financial privacy law, state-law privacy rights such as data access or deletion may not apply to that information, and Robinhood may decline to act on Data Subject Requests for it. If you wish to understand which privacy rights apply to your information, you can contact Robinhood directly to inquire about the scope of any applicable Data Subject Request process.
