Linking & Identification · Company practice
Linking Venmo to another account lets both sides exchange your data, including bank balances and purchases
An "account connection" is a link you authorize between your Venmo account and a non-Venmo account, payment instrument or platform you lawfully control, such as a social media or messaging account, a data aggregator or financial services company you give your Venmo login to, or a merchant you pay or allow to charge your Venmo account. When you authorize one, Venmo and the third party exchange your personal information directly. If you connect other financial accounts, Venmo may access your balance and account and transaction information, such as purchases and transfers, and may receive information about your use of the other service. Venmo says it will use what it receives through a connection consistently with this Statement.

For the purposes of this Privacy Statement, an "account connection" with such a third party is a connection you authorize or enable between your Venmo account and a non-Venmo account, payment instrument, or platform that you lawfully control or own.
When you authorize such a connection, Venmo and the third-party will exchange your personal information and other information directly.
Examples of account connections include, without limitation: linking your Venmo account to a social media account or social messaging service; connecting your Venmo account to a third-party data aggregation or financial services company, if you provide such company with your Venmo account log-in credentials; or using your Venmo account to make payments to a merchant or allowing a merchant to charge your Venmo account.
If you connect your Venmo account to other financial accounts, directly or through a third-party service provider, we may have access to your account balance and account and transactional information, such as purchases and funds transfers.
If you choose to create an account connection, we may receive information from the third-party about you and your use of the third-party’s service.
We will use all such information that we receive from a third-party via an account connection in a manner consistent with this Privacy Statement.

Data shared through an account connection follows the other party's privacy rules and may become public

For example, information Venmo gives a social media account or platform may in turn be disclosed to others, including the general public, depending on that platform's practices.
