Collection of Sensitive Financial and Behavioral Data

What it is

Robinhood collects a wide range of data about you including your Social Security number, bank account details, transaction history, device identifiers, location, and inferences about your financial behavior and preferences.

Why it matters

The breadth of data collected — spanning identity, finances, and behavioral patterns — creates a comprehensive profile that could be exposed in a breach or misused if sharing controls fail.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

The collection of SSNs, financial account numbers, and biometric/government ID data triggers heightened obligations under CCPA/CPRA's 'sensitive personal information' category, state data breach notification laws, and SEC Regulation S-P safeguards requirements; due diligence teams should assess data minimization and retention practices.

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.
