OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Venmo, a PayPal, Inc. service, knows that you care about how your personal information is used
and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Our primary goal is to provide you with
exceptional service, and we understand that you may have questions or concerns regarding your
personal information and how it will be used. To make this privacy policy easy to find, we make it
available from the home page of the Venmo website at venmo.com (/) (the "website") and through
our mobile applications. You may also email us at privacy@venmo.com
(mailto:privacy@venmo.com) with any privacy-related questions you have.
APPLICABILITY OF PRIVACY POLICY

Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be
associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider
personal information to include information that has been aggregated and/or anonymized so that it
does not identify a specific user.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the website or use one of our mobile applications or other Services, we collect your
IP address, and standard web log information, such as your browser type and the pages you
accessed on our website. We also may collect Geolocation Information (defined below). If you do
not agree to our collection of this information, you may not be able to use our Service.
If you open a Venmo account, we collect the following information from you:
Account Information - text-enabled cellular/wireless telephone number, machine or mobile
device ID and other similar information.
Identification Information - your name, street address, email address, date of birth, and SSN
(or other governmental issued verification numbers).
Device Information - information about you: (a) from your mobile device or computer such as
your device type, machine or mobile device identification number, Geolocation Information,
time zone, language setting, browser type, and IP address, and (b) from third parties for
purposes of transaction processing, identity verification, fraud detection or prevention and
other similar purposes. For fraud prevention purposes, we also may link your machine ID
with the machines of others who use your same payment cards.
Geolocation Information - information that identifies with reasonable specificity your location
by using, for instance, longitude and latitude coordinates obtained through GPS, Wi-Fi, or
cell site triangulation. We will collect this data for fraud and risk purposes. In addition, some
of our Services may ask you for permission to share your current location within your device
settings to enhance our Services. If you do not agree to our collection of Geolocation
Information, our Services may not function properly when you try to use them. For
information about your ability to restrict the collection and use of Geolocation Information to
enhance our Services, please refer to the settings available in your device.
Social Web Information - including but not limited to your Facebook Connect credentials and
email account information. If you authorize Facebook Connect, the plug in allows us access
to your email address, Facebook friends list, and public profile (including profile picture). We
also allow you to import data from other social web services, including but not limited to
Twitter, FourSquare, and email service providers. Social and e-mail contact information helps
you connect to friends and contacts for invitation and payment transmission purposes (as
well as helping us improve the Services and fight fraud). Additionally, another Venmo user
may mention you in a transaction to which you are not a party by “tagging” your username in
a transaction note or comment. When you are mentioned in a transaction note or comment
into which you have visibility (e.g., a public transaction, a “friends only” transaction by one of
your Venmo friends, or a comment on either such transaction), a link to your Venmo profile
will appear in the transaction note or comment and, if your push notifications are turned on,
you will receive a push notification about the mentions. You may manage certain contact
preferences and notifications in your account settings.
Financial Information - bank account online login information, bank account and routing
numbers and credit cards linked to your Venmo account. Venmo does not share financial

information with third party social networking services such as those listed in the prior bullet.
We are committed to providing a safe, secure and all around great service. Therefore, before
permitting you to use the Services, we may require additional information from you we can use to
verify your identity, address or other information or to manage risk and compliance throughout our
relationship. We may also obtain information about you from third parties such as identity
verification, fraud prevention and similar services.
When you are using the Services, we collect information about your account transactions and we
may collect Geolocation Information and/or information about your computer or other access
device for fraud prevention and other similar purposes.
Finally, we may collect additional information from or about you in other ways not specifically
described here. For example, we may collect information related to your contact with our customer
support team or store results when you respond to a survey.
INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN
The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that
we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete it,
unless we are legally obligated to retain such data. Contact us (https://help.venmo.com/hc/en-
us/requests/new) if you believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected information
from a child under the age of 13.
HOW WE USE COOKIES
When you visit or use our Services, or visit a third-party website for which we provide online
services, we and certain business partners and vendors may use cookies and other tracking
technologies (collectively, "Cookies"). We use Cookies to recognize you as a customer; customize
Services, other content and advertising; measure the effectiveness of promotions; perform a wide
range of analytics; mitigate risk and prevent potential fraud; and to promote trust and safety across
our Services.
Certain Services are only available through the use of Cookies, so if you choose to disable or
decline Cookies, your use of certain Services may be limited or not possible.
Do Not Track: Do Not Track ("DNT") is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your
preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third-parties. We do not respond to DNT
signals.
HOW WE PROTECT & STORE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We store and process your personal information using third party servers located in data centers in
the United States. This information is protected by physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
in compliance with applicable US federal and state regulations. We also use computer safeguards
such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our office and files,
and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill
their job responsibilities.
We strive to ensure security on our systems. Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that

personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of our
administrative, managerial and technical safeguards. Therefore, we urge you to take adequate
precautions to protect your personal data as well, including never sharing your Venmo password
with anyone.
If Venmo learns of a systems security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that
you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Services, you agree that Venmo may
communicate with you electronically. Venmo may post a notice on the website or mobile
application if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you
have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of
a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your
consent from receiving electronic notice of a security breach), please email us at
privacy@venmo.com (mailto:privacy@venmo.com)
HOW WE USE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth,
efficient, fun and customized experience. We may use your personal information to:
provide the services and customer support you request;
process transactions and send notices about your transactions or your network activity;
resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
prevent potentially fraudulent, prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement
through the use of our risk and fraud tools which may include use of Account Information,
Identification Information, Financial Information, Device Information, Social Web Information
and Geolocation Information;
create an account connection between your Venmo account and a third-party account or
platform;
customize, personalize, measure, and improve our services and the content and layout of
our website;
send you updates about new products and services that we are offering to customers;
compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties;
perform other duties as required by law; and
if you elect to share your Geolocation Information, we will use this information to enhance the
security of the Services and we may use this information to provide you with location-specific
options, functionality, offers, advertising, search results, or other location-specific content.
HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITHIN THE VENMO NETWORK
To process payments on Venmo, we need to share some of your personal information with the
person or company that you are paying or is paying you. Your contact information, date of sign-up,
the number of payments you have received and other verification metrics like social graph activity
may be provided to users or companies when you transact with, on, or through Venmo.
We work with vendors to enable them to accept payments from you using Venmo. In doing so, a
vendor may share information about you with us, such as your mobile phone number or Venmo
username, when you attempt to pay that vendor. We use this information to confirm to that vendor
that you are a Venmo customer and that the vendor should enable Venmo as a form of payment

for your purchase.
Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you
have paid or who has paid you through Venmo, except with your express permission or if we are
required to do so to comply with a subpoena or other legal process.
HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHER PARTIES
Venmo does not share your personal information with third parties for their promotional or
marketing purposes.
Some personal information is public information and may be seen by anyone on the internet,
whether or not they have a Venmo account. Public information may also be seen, accessed,
reshared or downloaded through Venmo's APIs or third-party services that integrate with our
products.
Public information for personal profiles includes your Venmo username, profile photo, first
and last name, month and year of Venmo account creation, and public transactions in which
you've been involved.
Public information for business profiles includes Venmo username, profile and background
photos, business name, business description, and QR code. Public information for business
profiles may be indexed by and searchable on search engines.
In addition to any public information, your Venmo friends list may be seen by any logged-in Venmo
user.
We may share your personal information with:
Our parent company, PayPal, Inc. and affiliates and subsidiaries it controls, but only for
purposes allowed by this document.
Companies that PayPal, Inc. plans to merge with or be acquired by or, in the event of any
bankruptcy, a bankruptcy estate. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the
new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If
your personal information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice
and the opportunity to communicate preferences you may have, if applicable.
Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties if PayPal is compelled to do so
by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure, when it is necessary to do so to
comply with law, or where the disclosure of personal information is reasonably necessary to
prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate
violations of the Venmo User Agreement, or as otherwise required by law.
Third party service providers who assist us in providing services to you or who provide fraud
detection or similar services on our or any vendor’s behalf.
The other Venmo user participating in the transaction and, depending on the privacy setting
of each Venmo account transaction, your Venmo friends and the Venmo friends of the other
user participating in the transaction, or the public, through the Venmo feed on our website
and mobile application and elsewhere on the internet.
Service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations (for
example, fraud prevention, payment processing, or technology services). Our contracts
dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services

they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
Other third parties with your consent or at your direction to do so, including if you authorize
an account connection with a third-party account or platform.
For the purposes of this privacy policy, an "account connection" with such a third party
is a connection you authorize or enable between your Venmo account and a non-
Venmo account, payment instrument, or platform that you lawfully control or own.
When you authorize such a connection, Venmo and the third-party will exchange your
personal information and other information directly. Examples of account connections
include, without limitation: linking your Venmo account to a social media account or
social messaging service; connecting your Venmo account to a third-party data
aggregation or financial services company, if you provide such company with your
Venmo account log-in credentials; or using your Venmo account to make payments to a
merchant or allowing a merchant to charge your Venmo account.
If you connect your Venmo account to other financial accounts, directly or through a
third-party service provider, we may have access to your account balance and account
and transactional information, such as purchases and funds transfers. If you choose to
create an account connection, we may receive information from the third-party about
you and your use of the third-party’s service. For example, if you connect your Venmo
account to a social media account, we will receive personal information from the social
media provider via the account connection. We will use all such information that we
receive from a third-party via an account connection in a manner consistent with this
privacy policy.
Information that we share with a third-party based on an account connection will be
used and disclosed in accordance with the third-party’s privacy practices. Before
authorizing an account connection, you should review the privacy notice of any third-
party that will gain access to your personal information as part of the account
connection. For example, personal information that Venmo shares with a third-party
account or platform such as a social media account may in turn be shared with certain
other parties, including the general public, depending on the account’s or platform’s
privacy practices.
If you choose to use Siri or iMessage to send payments via Venmo or to otherwise use
the Services, such use is subject to Apple’s terms and conditions for use of iMessage
and/or Siri, as applicable, and the terms of the Venmo User Agreement. By using Siri or
iMessage, you authorize us to share some of your Venmo account data (including your
friends list, list of persons you have transacted with most recently and most frequently,
transaction instructions, and transaction notes) with Apple to allow it to facilitate
transaction requests made through Siri or iMessage on iOS. Data shared with Apple
will be used pursuant to Apple’s then-current user agreements and privacy policies.
You can grant or revoke Apple’s access to Venmo on iOS at any time under the “Siri” or
“iMessage” settings on your iPhone.
Venmo does not send your personal information to third-party social networks unless you
have specifically requested or authorized us to do so. When you broadcast information to
such third-party social networks, such information is no longer under the control of Venmo
and is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of such third parties.

policy. If we modify this privacy policy, we will post the revised privacy policy to the website, and
we will also revise the "last updated date" stated above. If we make material changes in the way
we use personal information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our mobile
application or website or by sending you an e-mail. It is your responsibility to periodically review
this privacy policy; users are bound by any changes to the privacy policy by using the Services
