When a user first opens an account, Venmo collects different kinds of information, which are stated in the Privacy Policy of the official website. This information collected includes the user’s geolocation, phone number, the device’s ID, the IP address and any pages visited on Venmo.com, Facebook credentials, any financial information the user provides, as well as the users personal identification information including name, street address, email, date of birth, and social security number.

The Venmo account is only as safe as the device it is on. The app is not password-protected unless the user specifies it to be, but it only accepts the credentials to access the device itself. Consequently, if the device is breached, the app may also be breached.
