Webull states it takes reasonable steps to protect your data but does not guarantee any specific security standard or outcome.
This analysis describes what Webull's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The use of 'reasonable measures' without specifying technical standards means the policy does not commit to any particular security framework, which is relevant given the sensitivity of financial and identity data held.
This simplified security provision replaces the previous high-severity 'Security Measures and Breach Notification' with only general protective measures and removes any mention of breach notification obligations.

"We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.— Excerpt from Webull's Webull Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The FTC Safeguards Rule requires financial institutions to implement a comprehensive information security program with specific administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, going beyond a general reasonableness standard. SEC Regulation S-P requires broker-dealers to adopt written policies and procedures reasonably designed to protect customer records and information. CCPA and state data security laws including the New York SHIELD Act require reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the data held. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. General reasonableness language is standard in privacy policies but creates ambiguity about whether the operational security program meets the more specific requirements of applicable financial services regulations. A regulator assessing whether security measures were adequate in the event of a breach would look to operational implementation rather than policy language. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: New York SHIELD Act creates specific obligations for entities holding sensitive data on New York residents; California data security obligations under CCPA apply to California residents. Financial services regulators in all U.S. jurisdictions may assess security adequacy in the event of a reportable breach. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Security obligations should flow down to service providers handling Webull customer data through contractual requirements for equivalent security standards. Vendor agreements should specify security audit rights and breach notification timelines. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should confirm that the operational security program is documented and meets the specific requirements of the FTC Safeguards Rule and SEC Regulation S-P, and that the policy's general language accurately reflects the implemented program's scope.
