Other users can tag you in transaction notes, linking to your profile even if you are not a party
Another Venmo user may mention you by tagging your username in a transaction note or comment, even on a transaction you are not part of. Where you can see that note or comment (for example a public transaction, a friends-only transaction by one of your Venmo friends, or a comment on either), a link to your Venmo profile appears in it, and you get a push notification if push notifications are on. You can manage certain contact preferences and notifications in your account settings; the Statement does not say you can prevent being tagged.
