It frames the legal limits on consumer control over financial information sharing, indicating that GLBA permits restrictions on some but not all sharing categories.
The updated privacy statement no longer describes a specific opt-out procedure for advertising cookies that was previously available. The prior version stated users could 'opt out of having your personal information used or disclosed for these purposes by sliding the toggle to No and clicking Save My Choices', but this mechanism and accompanying language are no longer present in the updated disclosure. The updated terms also no longer explicitly state that IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with advertising partners, removing prior transparency about what data types are disclosed. You should review TurboTax's main Privacy Policy to determine if opt-out mechanisms exist elsewhere or what the current data-sharing practices are.
