What it is

Webull may send your personal data to other countries, including potentially those with weaker privacy protections, such as China where Webull's parent company operates.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your highly sensitive personal and financial data — including SSN, bank account details, and trading history — may be transferred internationally to countries with different (potentially weaker) data protection standards, with no specific adequacy mechanism disclosed.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Given Webull's corporate structure with China-linked affiliates, international data transfers raise significant concerns about whether your financial and personal data could be accessed by Chinese authorities under Chinese cybersecurity and data laws.

View original clause language
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Chapter V (Arts. 44-49) prohibits transfers of personal data to third countries without adequate protection, requiring adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or Binding Corporate Rules. China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL, effective November 2021) requires security assessments for cross-border transfers from China, but the reverse concern — data flowing into China from US users — raises issues under US national security frameworks including CFIUS oversight and potential Executive Orders restricting data flows to China. California CPRA §1798.140 does not directly address cross-border transfers but requires disclosure of third countries where data is shared. Enforcement authority: EU supervisory authorities (GDPR), California CPPA, FTC.
