Why it matters

This data is among the most sensitive a company can hold — a breach or misuse could enable identity theft, financial fraud, or targeted surveillance of your physical movements.

Consumer impact

Robinhood collects highly sensitive financial and identity data — including Social Security numbers, government-issued IDs, bank account details, trading history, and device geolocation — and shares this data with affiliated companies, service providers, and third-party marketing partners. Users have limited ability to restrict this sharing, and GLBA exemptions may prevent California residents from exercising full CCPA deletion rights over brokerage account data. You can opt out of data sharing for marketing purposes by contacting Robinhood at privacy@robinhood.com or by submitting a CCPA rights request at robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/ccpa-privacy-rights/.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Submit a CCPA Right to Know or Deletion request via the privacy rights portal. Note that deletion of identity verification data (SSN, government ID) may be limited by GLBA and FINRA record retention requirements.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    FTC enforces the Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) requiring non-bank financial firms like Robinhood to secure customer financial data including SSN and government IDs.
