ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that Robinhood Social constitutes a context in which user identifiers and activity data may be shared for behavioral advertising purposes. The CCPA and similar state statutes treat cross-context behavioral advertising data sharing as a sale or sharing of personal information subject to opt-out rights, and the policy provides an in-app opt-out mechanism for this purpose.

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 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.
