Why it matters

This provision protects minors from having sensitive financial data collected and gives parents a mechanism to request removal if data was inadvertently submitted.

Consumer impact

Wealthfront collects extensive personal and financial data including Social Security numbers, biometric selfies, bank credentials, and investment information, sharing it with multiple third-party service providers for account aggregation, identity verification, and fraud detection. Full clients (those with investment or lending accounts) cannot request deletion of their personal data due to regulatory recordkeeping obligations, significantly limiting their data rights compared to free users. You can request deletion of your data by emailing support@wealthfront.com if you are a User (not a Client) and can opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in any communication.

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    If your child under 18 has submitted personal information to Wealthfront, email support@wealthfront.com as a parent or guardian to request deletion of that information from Wealthfront's records.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    FTC enforces COPPA, which governs online collection of personal information from children under 13 and imposes parental consent and deletion requirements.
