Sensitive Personal Information Collection and Use

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

We collect sensitive personal information, which may include your Social Security number, financial account information, precise geolocation data, and racial or ethnic origin as part of providing our services.

Why it matters

Collection of sensitive financial and identity data at scale creates significant risk of harm if breached or misused, and most users outside California have limited ability to restrict how this data is processed.

Consumer impact

Robinhood collects extensive personal and financial data — including your investment activity, geolocation, device identifiers, and inferred characteristics — and shares it across its affiliated companies (brokerage, cash card, credit card) and with third-party business partners for marketing purposes. Users outside California have very limited opt-out rights, meaning most Americans cannot meaningfully restrict how their data is used for cross-selling. You can submit a California Consumer Privacy Act request or a general privacy request at https://robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/understanding-your-privacy-rights/ to access, delete, or limit sharing of your personal information.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    California residents can submit a 'Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information' request through Robinhood's privacy rights portal to restrict processing of your SSN, financial account data, and geolocation beyond core service delivery.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces the Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) requiring financial institutions like Robinhood's affiliates to implement security controls protecting sensitive consumer financial data.
