California residents have the right to know what personal data Robinhood holds about them, request deletion or correction of that data, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their information.
Why it matters
These rights give California users meaningful control over their financial data, but users must affirmatively exercise them — Robinhood will not apply these protections automatically.
CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100–1798.199) mandates response to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days, requires an opt-out of sale/sharing link, and prohibits discrimination against users who exercise their rights; compliance teams must ensure request handling workflows and disclosures are current.

Consumer impact
Robinhood collects extensive personal and financial data — including transaction history, device data, and behavioral inferences — and shares it with affiliates, service providers, and third-party advertising partners. This means your investment activity and financial profile may inform targeted advertising both on and off the platform. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising by visiting Robinhood's privacy settings in the app or at robinhood.com/privacy.
What you can do
