Fidelity Bloom® Privacy Policy

Last Updated June 23, 2023

Our Commitment to Privacy

Fidelity Bloom® (the “Fidelity Bloom”, “we”, “us” or “our”) helps you be mindful of spending patterns and can help grow savings.

We recognize the importance of maintaining the privacy of personal information about our current and prospective customers.

This Privacy Policy explains how Fidelity Bloom collects, uses, shares, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with our mobile app, websites, including https://www.fidelity.com/mobile/bloom and other websites we own and operate that link to this Privacy Policy, and the related content, products, platform and other functionality offered on or through our services (collectively, the “Services”).

As used in this privacy policy, personal information means information about an individual that is collected or maintained for business purposes and by which the individual can be identified. Please note that information by which an individual cannot be identified (for example, anonymous, de-identified, or aggregate information) is not considered personal information and therefore is not subject to this policy. This policy is reviewed annually and updated to reflect any changes.

This Privacy Policy supplements our Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) Notice. For more information about our GLBA-related privacy practices, please visit our GLBA Notice.

How and Why We Obtain and Use Personal Information

Fidelity Bloom recognizes the importance of maintaining personal information about you and when we use it, we do so with respect for your privacy. We obtain and use personal information about you to service, maintain, and protect your account; process transactions in your account; respond to inquiries from you; develop, offer, and deliver Services; operate and manage our business; and fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. Fidelity Bloom collects public and non-public personal information from customers and visitors from various sources. Some examples include:

  • Contact information, such as your name, phone number, email address, or mailing address, when you submit a request or communicate with us. We use this information to provide you with our Services that you request or in which you express interest, and to communicate with you such as to send email messages;
  • Account information, including first and last name, user ID and password, profile information, payment and purchase history information, and any other information you provide to us. We use this information to administer your account, provide you with the relevant service and information, communicate with you regarding your account and your use of the service, and for customer support purposes;
  • Employment information, such as your business email address, business address, date of hire and employment identification number, to the extent permitted by you or under our agreement with your employer or plan sponsor and as allowed by law;
  • Activity data, such as unique online or device identifiers, IP address, device or session IDs, information regarding your system configuration (operating system and version) and other information collected through your use of the Services;
  • Purchase data, such as any activity in your account that occurs from purchases and other transactional activities (for example, trading history and balances or rewards earned from shopping experiences);
  • Other interactions with Fidelity Bloom (for example, discussions with our customer service staff, including telephone or chat, information you enter into our websites, or when you enroll in our authentication services);
  • Information from other third-party sources (for example, to verify your identity and to better understand your product and service needs); and
  • Other sources with your consent (for example, from other institutions if you transfer positions into Fidelity Bloom).

How We Protect Information About You

We implement and maintain physical, administrative, technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information and we regularly adapt these controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology.

For Fidelity Bloom, we restrict access to personal information to those who require it to develop, support, offer and deliver Services to you and to operate our business.

How We Share Information About You with Third Parties

Fidelity Bloom may share personal information about our customers with unaffiliated third parties. We may share personal information with the following entities:

  • Unaffiliated service providers (for example, marketing service providers and other entities who may provide services at our direction);
  • Government agencies, other regulatory bodies and law enforcement officials (for example, for tax purposes or for reporting suspicious transactions);
  • Other third parties, with your consent (for example, if you request to transfer assets from another financial institution, or if you use an external aggregation website or service that you have provided permission to access your Fidelity Bloom account on your behalf);
  • Other organizations as permitted or required by law (for example for fraud prevention or to respond to a subpoena); and
  • In connection with corporate business transactions, such as a merger or sale of a business.

Our service providers are obligated to keep the personal information we share with them confidential and use it only to provide services in connection with Fidelity Bloom.

In addition, if you choose to use or indicate your interest in using a product, service or investment offering that is offered by a third party and made available through Fidelity Bloom, we may share personal information with that third party in connection with your use or interest of that product, service or investment offering.

How We Provide Information About You to Our Affiliates

We may provide personal information about you to our corporate affiliates including internal service providers which perform, for example data processing services.

Where Fidelity provides services to you under an arrangement with your employer or plan sponsor, to the extent permitted by you or under our agreement with your employer or plan sponsor and as allowed by law, we may provide information about you to Fidelity Investments and Fidelity affiliates, such as its brokerage and insurance companies, for their use in marketing Services.
