GLBA Exemption Limiting CCPA Deletion Rights

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

This means California residents who believe they have the right to delete their data may find that Robinhood refuses deletion for most core financial data, significantly curtailing a key CCPA consumer right.

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 deletion request via the privacy rights portal. If Robinhood declines citing GLBA, request a written explanation specifying which regulation requires retention of each data category.

Applicable agencies
