ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Precise geolocation data can reveal sensitive patterns about your physical movements and routines, and its collection by a financial services app may not be expected by most users.

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…

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The policy states that Robinhood collects sensitive financial identifiers including Social Security numbers, government-issued ID data, brokerage transaction history, and credit card data, alongside behavioral data such as browsing activity and device identifiers, and shares these with advertising networks, analytics vendors, and financial partners. The terms also authorize sharing of inferred characteristics and usage patterns for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, though California residents are granted opt-out rights over that category of sharing. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising by visiting Robinhood's privacy preferences page or submitting a request via their privacy portal at https://robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/rh-financial-entities-privacy-statement/.
