Be careful when you give your information to budgeting apps & brokerages

Hey everyone,

​

Just wanted to let people know about privacy. It's very important to know what you're getting into before you sign up for a "free" brokerage or budgeting app.

​

Here's an article detailing some of the privacy limitations of Robinhood:

​

Since JP Morgan is partners with the company of the budgeting app, Mint, it's possible that JP Morgan will have your data if you sign up for Mint (If you're uncomfortable with that).
