Privacy at Fidelity

Maintaining the privacy of your personal information is our priority.

Who we are and what we do

  • Fidelity has multiple privacy policies. Which applies to me?

    The privacy policy that applies depends on your relationship with Fidelity and the Fidelity business you are dealing with. To view the privacy policy for a particular relationship, click on the Privacy Policy link on the website/mobile app that you use in connection with that relationship.

    In addition, certain products and services (including websites or mobile apps) made available to you may have a different or additional privacy policy that will be made available to you if you choose to use those products or services.

  • What is the difference between the privacy policy and the privacy notice?

    The privacy policy describes our general privacy practices, including how we collect, use, and share your personal information. It also includes information for California residents as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA).

    The privacy notice is required to be provided by certain of our businesses pursuant to the federal Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA). While there is an overlap with our privacy policy, the privacy notice only covers the privacy practices regulated by the GLBA.

  • How can I update my personal information?

    Customers are able to update personal information within their profileLog In Required, including beneficiaries, trusted contacts, communication preferences, and more.
