haha, sure, because google needs more of your data, and whatever this nordigen thing is... laughable

from this nordigen's information handling section in TOS

> 2.3. As the Services also allow User to upload Information and/or obtain Account Information and personal data therein, User further acknowledges and agrees that by uploading or entering any Information for the Services and by using the Services, User grants Nordigen permission to make anonymized data based on personal and non-personal data collected from User or through User's use of the Services, and combine such anonymized data with that of other Users in order to make anonymized aggregate data. Nordigen may use the anonymized data and anonymized aggregate data for various business purposes and legitimate interests of Nordigen, including but not limited to improving the Services, developing and improving other Nordigen products and services, and distributing or licensing such data to third parties with whom Nordigen has a business relationship.

Every time the word "anonymized" is mentioned here you have to understand that everything in software is at risk of bugs or mistakes. But even if, they'll definitely sell your data.

Such ToS always have a clause like "we can change these terms at any time". I'm surprised that these data miners bother to declare their intent at all.
No, we don't sell your data neither in raw nor anonymised form (if that is the case). We take privacy very seriously.
Please forgive me if I don't take your word for it when TOS allows it.

That means if you don't now, you might do it in the future. If if you don't, you might sell the whole thing to another company who will do this.
