This is Robinhood's privacy policy, explaining what personal information the company collects from US users of its investment, crypto, and banking products — including your financial account data, government-issued ID, location, device activity, and even biometric identifiers. The most important thing to know is that Robinhood shares your personal and financial information with affiliated companies, service providers, and marketing partners, and California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal data. If you are a California resident, you can exercise your opt-out and data deletion rights by visiting Robinhood's Privacy Choices page in the app or at robinhood.com.
This document is Robinhood's US User Privacy Statement, governing the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information by Robinhood Markets, Inc. and its affiliated financial entities (Robinhood Financial LLC, Robinhood Securities LLC, Robinhood Crypto LLC, and others), with legal basis rooted in contractual necessity, legal obligation, and consent under applicable US law. The statement creates obligations for Robinhood to disclose categories of personal information collected (including financial data, government IDs, biometric identifiers, geolocation, and device/usage data), to honor consumer rights requests (access, deletion, correction, opt-out of sale/sharing), and to provide annual financial privacy notices under GLBA. Notable provisions include the collection of precise geolocation data, biometric identifiers, and inferences drawn from user profiles, as well as broad sharing with affiliated companies and third-party service providers including marketing partners — practices that deviate from minimalist data collection norms expected of broker-dealer platforms. The statement engages CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq.), GLBA (15 U.S.C. §6801 et seq.), SEC Regulation S-P (17 C.F.R. Part 248), FINRA privacy rules, and state-level biometric privacy statutes; material compliance considerations include ensuring opt-out mechanisms for data sale/sharing are functional and auditable, that biometric data handling complies with BIPA (740 ILCS 14) where applicable, and that data retention schedules align with broker-dealer recordkeeping requirements under SEC Rule 17a-4.
