Jamillah Dunn, a client of Robinhood Markets, Inc, is suing the company for alleged unlawful disclosure of consumers’ sensitive financial information, including their securities holdings and stock portfolios, to unauthorized third parties without consumers’ consent.

Dunn’s complaint, seen by FX News Group, was submitted at the California Northern District Court on May 8, 2026.

The complaint alleges that, unbeknownst to consumers, Robinhood embedded invisible trackers on its website from Google that transmit sensitive financial information to advertisers without the consumers’ knowledge or consent.

Once the consumer submits his or her search to Robinhood, the Google Trackers surreptitiously and without the consumers’ knowledge and consent collect the search term. In this instance, the Google Trackers collect 1) the stock ticker symbol and 2) and a host of identifiers and cookies that allow Google to identify the consumer.

The sensitive financial data that Robinhood shared with Google includes a consumer’s full account number, the names of securities held in the consumer’s portfolio, the current price of the security, the consumer’s searches for securities, and additional web activity.

The complaint further alleges that Robinhood’s practice is particularly egregious because advertisers like Google can determine a specific consumer’s net worth and financial health by monitoring their financial information over time, including granular data points such as the specific names of stocks and other assets in their portfolio and corresponding price and valuation changes over time. This allows Google to build a demographic profile on the consumer based on their net worth and target them with relevant advertisements.

In other words, Robinhood allegedly allows the advertisers to access sensitive financial data for Google’s own purposes and benefit, and Google would not have access this sensitive and highly personal dataset but for Robinhood’s conduct.

A transmission of a consumer’s full account number to Google exposes the consumer to significant risk, including the potential for unauthorized access to the consumer’s account, unauthorized transactions, fraud, and identity theft.

Also, the complaint alleges that Robinhood failed to protect consumers’ sensitive financial information nor properly inform consumers about its data sharing practices.

Neither Plaintiff nor any other Class Member signed a written authorization permitting Robinhood to share sensitive financial information with Google.

Plaintiff seeks to remedy these harms and brings causes of action for (1) violation of the Electronics Communication Privacy Act (“ECPA”) 18 U.S.C. § 2511(1); (2) Violation of the California Information Privacy Act (“CIPA”) Cal. Pen. Code § 631 et seq.; (3) Negligence; (4) Breach of Implied Contract; (5) Violation of the CCPA; (6) Intrusion Upon Seclusion; and (7) Breach of Confidence.

Dunn, individually and on behalf of the Class, seeks the following relief:

• An order certifying the Class as defined above, appointing Plaintiff as the representative of the Class, and appointing Plaintiff’s counsel as Class Counsel;
• An order declaring that Defendant’s actions, as set out above, violate the ECPA, CIPA, CCPA, were negligent, breached an implied contract with Plaintiff and Class Members, and constituted intrusion upon seclusion and breach of confidence;
• An injunction requiring Defendant to cease all unlawful activities;
• An award of statutory damages, disgorgement of profits, costs, and attorneys’ fees;
• Such other and further relief that the Court deems reasonable and just.
