Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Mar 6, 2026

The updated privacy policy reorganizes how Robinhood discloses its handling of financial information, now grouping GLBA-regulated disclosures by individual service entity with updated reference links rather than listing all entities in a single section. The policy also removed coverage of Robinhood Social, meaning privacy practices for that social media product are no longer described in this statement. The revised policy clarifies that it applies when you are logged into services or interact through online customer service channels, and directs users to a separate Robinhood Markets US Online Privacy Statement for information about non-financial data collection practices.
