Research by Cornell Tech Policy Institute, Bitcoin Policy Institute and Fedi points to broad support for stronger financial privacy protections in payments data.
A financial privacy survey by Cornell Tech Policy Institute, Bitcoin Policy Institute and Fedi found that 68% of respondents said companies should never collect their spending data, or should do so only with explicit consent. The result highlights strong public sensitivity around payments data and suggests privacy remains a central issue in digital finance, where transaction information can be valuable for profiling, advertising and compliance.
