When your bank information is transmitted via our Services, it will be protected by encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your Personal Information.

California Collection Notice
If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and share your “personal information” (as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)), other than the personal information we collect in connection with providing financial products and services.
Depending on how you interact with our website and services, we may collect the following categories of personal information about you, in addition to the information we collect in connection with providing financial products and services:
· Identifiers, such as your name and contact information, IP address, and mobile device identifiers
· Commercial information such as purchase history
· Internet usage information, such as browsing history, access history, and use and interaction with our website.
This information is used and disclosed for the purposes and to the categories of third parties described in the main privacy policy, above.
Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:
· Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information.
· Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
· Delete certain information we have about you.
· Opt you out of the sale of your personal information. As noted below, we do not “sell” your personal information, as that term is defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.
You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you for your personal information (if any). You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you and for compliance with applicable law. If you ask us to delete certain information, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
Where applicable, the CCPA gives California consumers the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. As discussed in the Additional Information section below, we do not sell your personal information.
California consumers may request, once per year, that we disclose the identity of any third parties with whom we have shared personal information for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes within the previous calendar year, along with the type of personal information disclosed.
To exercise your rights, please send us an email at support@acorns.com. You will need to provide additional information to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
Additional Information for California Residents
The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information. Based on the definition of “sell” under the CCPA and under current regulatory guidance, we do not believe we engage in such activity and have not engaged in such activity in the past twelve months. We share certain information as set forth in the “How We Share Information” section, above, and allow third parties to collect certain information about your activity, for example through cookies, for our commercial purposes as explained in Cookies / Tracking Technologies section, above. You can control these cookies through browser settings and other controls.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
Subject to applicable law, we may revise this Privacy Policy at any time and in our sole discretion. When we revise this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version via our Services and will update the date at the top of this Privacy Policy. The revised Privacy Policy will be effective upon posting via our Services, unless otherwise set forth therein or as otherwise required by applicable law. You are free to decide whether or not to accept a revised version of this Privacy Policy, but accepting this Privacy Policy, as revised, is required for you to continue accessing or using our Services. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or any revised version of this Privacy Policy, your sole recourse is to terminate your access and use of our Services. Except as otherwise expressly stated by us, your access and use of our Services is subject to the version of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time of access or use.
