Where Broadridge Financial Solutions does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration: disputes go to the courts of the State of New York, and there is no class-action waiver or jury waiver in the site terms - genuinely rare among S&P 500 companies. Broadridge explicitly states it 'does not sell individual consumer or account holder Personal Information for money.' The site honors Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out, commits to no profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal effects, and does not knowingly sell or share personal information of children under
- No consumer subscriptions means no auto-renew traps on the public site. There is also a dedicated SSN protection section limiting access and disclosure of Social Security numbers.
Broadridge can change the rules whenever it wants, effective instantly, with no direct notice to you.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.
-
Broadridge can change the rules whenever it wants, effective instantly, with no direct notice to you. Just visiting the site again afterward counts as agreeing to whatever changed.
Broadridge reserves the right to amend, remove, or add to the Terms at any time, and such modifications shall be effective immediately. Accordingly, whenever accessing, linking to or using any Site, please continue to review the Terms for any modifications. Your continued access, link to or use of such Site after any modifications have been posted to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

While Broadridge says it doesn't sell everyday customers' data for money, its subsidiary literally sells reports containing financial professionals' personal information to paying clients - though you can opt out.
AdvisorTarget, a subsidiary of Broadridge, includes certain personal information about financial advisors and their practices in reports it sells to its clients. You can opt-out of AdvisorTarget's sale of your Personal Information by visiting AdvisorTarget's privacy portal.
-
Your data is shared for targeted advertising, and ad partners on Broadridge's own sites can track you across other websites with persistent identifiers. You can opt out, but it's on you to find the portal.
We may share Personal Information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising or online targeted advertising... Some Broadridge websites allow third party advertising partners to utilize cookies, web beacons or other technologies to deliver ads to you on our sites and to deliver our advertisements to you on other sites. These third parties may collect information about your online activities on our websites, and they may use persistent identifiers to track you over time and across different websites and other online services.
-
Just visiting the website hands your IP address to a third party that de-anonymizes it, figuring out which company you work for and its industry, size, and revenue.
Broadridge provides a third party, Demandbase, Inc., with the IP addresses recorded by Broadridge's server logs of visitors to Broadridge's sites. Demandbase's web analytics identify information about visitors to Broadridge's sites, including, without limitation, company name, industry, size, location and revenue, based on Demandbase's database of company IP addresses.
-
You need written permission just to link to their site in anything other than a plain underlined text link, and they forbid deep links, caching, mirrors, and even meta-tag references. This is unusually aggressive for a public company site.
You may not use any 'deep-link', 'page-scrape', 'robot', 'spider' or other automatic device, program, algorithm or methodology... Broadridge reserves the right to block any such activity... you may not archive, cache, or mirror any Broadridge Site or portions of such Site. Broadridge prohibits unauthorized links to its Sites and the framing of any information contained on its Sites... without the express, prior written approval of Broadridge.
-
They accept zero liability for anything - even damages they could foresee or were warned about - while you agree to pay their legal bills if anything goes wrong. For a site that is mostly marketing pages, this is a stark one-sided bargain.
Under no circumstances shall Broadridge be liable for any damages suffered by you or any third party, including, without limitation, any direct or indirect, incidental, punitive, special or consequential damages... regardless of the theory of liability and even if foreseeable or even if Broadridge was advised of the possibility of such damages. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Broadridge and its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless, at your own expense, from any and all claims... (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), arising out of or in connection with your access, link to or use of any Broadridge Site.
How these were found
Terms of Use read live from broadridge.com via browser_open on Oct 1, 2026; page footer states 'Updated June 4, 2024'. Privacy Statement read live from broadridge.com via browser_open on Oct 1, 2026; page states 'This Privacy Statement was last updated July 3, 2025'. No mirror was needed - the official site was accessible. Broadridge is a B2B financial-infrastructure company: these documents govern website visitors only; the data of end consumers (brokerage/retirement-account holders) is governed by private client contracts that are not public and were not scored. The cookie/opt-out portal details were referenced but not separately reviewed. The AdvisorTarget privacy portal lives on finsum.com (Broadridge's subsidiary). Score reflects the thin consumer surface and is kept modest accordingly.
