Summary

This is Webull's privacy policy, explaining how the investment trading app collects and uses your personal and financial data — including your Social Security number, bank account information, trading activity, device location, and identity verification documents. The most important thing to know is that Webull may share your personal and financial data with affiliated companies and third-party marketing partners, and your data may be transferred to and stored in countries outside the US, including potentially China given Webull's corporate structure. You can submit a data access, deletion, or opt-out request by contacting Webull's privacy team at the contact details provided in the policy.

Technical Summary

This privacy policy, published by Webull Technologies Limited, governs the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information from users of the Webull trading platform, with legal basis grounded in user consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate interests under applicable data protection frameworks. The policy obligates Webull to collect extensive categories of personal and financial data — including government-issued ID, tax information, bank account details, trading history, device identifiers, IP addresses, and biometric data for identity verification — and permits sharing this data with affiliated entities, service providers, regulators, and business partners. A notably broad provision permits Webull to share personal data with 'third-party partners' for marketing and analytics purposes, and the policy allows data transfers to jurisdictions outside the user's home country without specifying adequacy mechanisms, creating elevated cross-border transfer risk given Webull's China-linked corporate structure. The policy engages CCPA/CPRA (California Civil Code §1798.100 et seq.), GDPR (where EU users are involved), FINRA and SEC data retention obligations, and FinCEN AML/KYC requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act; material compliance considerations include the adequacy of consent mechanisms for marketing data sharing, the sufficiency of cross-border transfer safeguards, and obligations arising from Webull's status as a broker-dealer subject to Regulation S-P (17 CFR Part 248).

What changed Webull updated their Webull Privacy Policy on April 25, 2026. Change detected: 3 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 197 sentences after update.
Consumer impact Webull has restructured which legal entity handles futures and cleared swaps trading, moving it from Webull Financial LLC to the newly named Webull Futures LLC. Additionally, 'cleared swaps' are now explicitly covered under the risk warnings and disclosure links, meaning customers trading these products have clearer notice of the associated risks. You can review the updated risk disclosures at www.webull.com/fcm-disclosures to understand how these changes affect your futures or cleared swaps trading account.
Why it matters Customers trading futures or cleared swaps on Webull are now dealing with a different named legal entity (Webull Futures LLC), which affects counterparty identification in account agreements and regulatory protections. The expanded inclusion of cleared swaps in risk disclosures also signals that Webull is formally extending its FCM services to cover this additional product category.
