The policy states that Webull has a data breach management plan and will notify users of breaches involving their personal information through push notifications, public announcements, or other means. Users are required to acknowledge that security safeguards cannot be guaranteed to be completely effective.

This provision establishes that breach notification will occur through push notifications or public announcements rather than specifying direct individual notification by email or mail, which may differ from the specific notification requirements of state breach notification laws and the GDPR's 72-hour supervisory authority notification requirement. The acknowledgment that no safeguards are guaranteed does not contractually limit Webull's legal obligations under applicable breach notification statutes.
Interpretive note: Whether notification via push notifications or public announcements satisfies individual notice requirements under applicable state breach notification statutes depends on jurisdiction-specific statutory requirements and is not resolved by the document language alone.
Under this clause, Webull commits to activating a breach management plan and notifying users of personal data breaches, but the notification method is described as push notifications, public announcements, or other appropriate means, without specifying direct individual contact for all affected users. Users acknowledge that security measures cannot be guaranteed effective.

"We have established a data breach management plan. If there is a data breach involving the personal information of our users, we will activate the data breach management plan to contain the data breach to prevent data from being further compromised and take appropriate measures to inform you, including in the form of push notifications, public announcements, or other appropriate means. You acknowledge that no safeguards are guaranteed to be completely effective.Excerpt from Webull's Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Data breach notification obligations for broker-dealers are governed by SEC Regulation S-P, state breach notification statutes applicable in each state where users reside, and GDPR Article 33 (supervisory authority notification within 72 hours) and Article 34 (individual notification without undue delay for high-risk breaches) for EEA and UK users. The flexibility in notification method described in this provision may not satisfy the individual written notice requirements of certain state statutes. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's description of notification through push notifications or public announcements is less specific than individual written notice requirements under state breach notification laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, New York SHIELD Act, and others. Whether these methods satisfy applicable legal requirements depends on jurisdiction-specific statutory language. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, New York, and other states with specific breach notification content and delivery requirements create heightened exposure. EEA and UK jurisdictions impose mandatory supervisory authority notification timelines that must be operationally supported by the breach management plan. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Incident response plans and vendor security agreements should specify breach notification timelines and methods that satisfy the most stringent applicable requirements across all jurisdictions where users reside. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that the breach management plan operationally satisfies individual notification requirements under applicable state and international law, and that the plan includes specific procedures for the heightened sensitivity of financial and identity data collected by Webull and its affiliates.
