I replied in a few other threads on this. We don't make the user's data accessible via API outside of the app the user connected. Your personal data is not sold or rented or given away or bartered to parties that are not Plaid, your bank, or the connected app.

We talk about all of this in our privacy policy, including ways that data could be used — for example, with data processors/service providers (like AWS which hosts our services) for the purposes of running Plaid’s services or for a user’s connected app to provide their services.

Here's the policy if you want to look: https://plaid.com/legal/#consumers



I don't think the policy helps much. For example,

> We share your End User Information for a number of business purposes:

> - With the developer of the application you are using and as directed by that developer (such as with another third party if directed by you);

> - With our data processors and other service providers, partners, or contractors in connection with the services they perform for us or developers;

This is so vague that I don't know what it's even supposed to mean. What Plaid lawyers will argue it means when pressed is a further question.

And thanks to Plaid settling, their lawyers won't be pressed.
