Our technology provides an easy way for the innovative financial brands you trust better serve you and help you do things like save for retirement, manage your spending, pay down debt, or transfer money. These software applications are built and provided by our business customers (we’ll call them “developers” here), and powered by FinGoal. By delivering access to high-quality, usable financial account data that we’ve analyzed and enriched, we enable developers to focus on building experiences that benefit you.

It does not explain what developers do with any End User Information we provide to them (or any other information they may collect about you separately from FinGoal).

We encourage you to review the privacy policies or notices of developers or those third parties for information about their practices.
