Summary

This privacy policy establishes the data collection and use practices for the Zelle.com website. The policy authorizes collection of visitor data including name, email address, IP address, browsing history, and form submissions such as fraud reports, with provision for sharing browsing data and personal identifiers with third-party advertising networks for cross-context behavioral advertising. The policy permits users to modify data sharing practices through the Cookie Preference Center or Global Privacy Control browser signals.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is the Zelle.com Website Privacy Notice, governing data collection and processing activities conducted through the zelle.com website only, with consent established by the terms stating 'by using this Website, you expressly consent to our collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Notice, including future updates.' The notice discloses collection of personal identifiers, browsing and interaction data, transaction information from fraud reports, and address and telephone data, with the terms authorizing disclosure to network financial institutions, service providers, law enforcement, and third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. A notable operational distinction is the document's explicit confirmation that Zelle.com website data may be shared with service providers and third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, while simultaneously asserting no sale of personal information, a distinction that engages U.S. state privacy law definitions around 'sharing' versus 'selling.' The notice explicitly limits its scope to the zelle.com website and states it does not govern the Zelle payment service itself, which is subject to separate privacy notices governed by participating financial institutions. Applicable regulatory frameworks include the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by CPRA, COPPA with respect to minors under 13, and the FTC Act governing unfair or deceptive practices; the document's B2B-specific California rights section and its acceptance of Global Privacy Control signals reflect current CPRA compliance posture, though enforcement applicability to B2B interactions under CCPA involves interpretive complexity that legal teams should evaluate.

What changed Zelle completely restructured their website privacy policy from marketing content to a formal legal notice. The old page focused on how to use Zelle for payments; the new page is a binding privacy notice that describes what personal information the company collects from website visitors, how it uses that data, and what rights you have. By visiting zelle.com, you now expressly consent to these practices, and the company states you should not use the site if you disagree.
