This provision means users may be unable to exercise data access, deletion, or other rights under state privacy laws for a potentially significant portion of their information held by Robinhood.
Interpretive note: The canonical claim contains two independent legal propositions: (1) state privacy rights are displaced by GLBA governance, and (2) Robinhood may in some cases have no obligation to accept Data Subject Requests. Both are stated because they are closely linked in the excerpt, but they are distinct effects. The second is captured in omitted_material for transparency.
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 rather than listing all entities in a single section. The policy also removed coverage of Robinhood Social, meaning privacy practices for that social media product are no longer described in this statement. The revised policy clarifies that it applies when you are logged into services or interact through online customer service channels, and directs users to a separate Robinhood Markets US Online Privacy Statement for information about non-financial data collection practices.
