Robinhood Privacy Policy

Robinhood's privacy policy describes what personal information Robinhood collects about you—including your Social Security number, photos, facial geometry, location, and chatbot conversations—and how it uses, shares, and keeps that information. Your data may be shared with marketing partners for targeted advertising across other websites, and some of it may be used to improve Robinhood's AI features. Importantly, much of your information may be exempt from state privacy rights like those in California because federal financial privacy law governs it instead, and Robinhood may keep certain data for up to five years after you stop using its services.

This privacy policy establishes the data collection, use, sharing, and retention practices Robinhood applies to users of its services. Robinhood collects a broad range of personal and sensitive information—including identity data (names, dates of birth, social security numbers, photographs, and facial geometry extracted for biometric identity verification), precise geolocation (required to access Events Contracts trading), and chatbot input and conversation data—and may use some of that data to train, test, or improve its AI functionalities. Robinhood may share personal identifiers such as hashed email addresses and device IDs with marketing partners for cross-platform advertising, and discloses that vendors collecting photo and voice data for identity purposes may also collect biometric data. Data retention extends up to five years following the end of the user's relationship with Robinhood, and the policy explicitly states that state privacy rights—including those under the CCPA—do not apply to information governed by federal financial privacy law such as the GLBA, meaning Robinhood may have no obligation to accept Data Subject Requests for a potentially significant portion of user information.

As a Robinhood user, your most sensitive personal data—including your Social Security number, facial geometry extracted from selfies, and chatbot conversations—is collected and may be retained for up to five years after you close your account. Your hashed email address or device ID may be shared with marketing partners to target you with ads across other platforms, and your chatbot data may be used to train Robinhood's AI systems. A significant limitation is that state privacy rights such as access or deletion requests may not apply to information governed by federal financial law, meaning Robinhood may decline to act on those requests. If you want to understand which of your rights apply, you can submit a Data Subject Request to Robinhood, though the policy makes clear Robinhood may have no obligation to honor it for federally governed information.
