From their privacy policy https://www.creditkarma.com/tax/privacy https://www.creditkarma.com/tax/privacy: When We Share the Information We Collect Affiliates: We may share certain information with our affiliated companies, such as Credit Karma, to help us provide our Services and manage your account. now, it seems fine for Credit Karma Tax to share information with Credit Karma. what exactly counts as an "affiliate" though? I mean, "affiliate marketing" is a common term, and that's pretty darn broad. I read it in the broadest terms possible, which would be "everyone we have a business relationship with", necessarily including TransUnion and probably other CRAs.
