Good question. Our tool falls into the category of third party data processors (in GDPR speak). That being said, we take data privacy pretty seriously, so aside from taking security measures and obtaining relevant certifications, we ensure users can revoke access to their data and even delete all their data if needed.

Our goal here is that users can trust their data is being handled correctly because we sit in the middle – much in the way Plaid handles personal financial data for specific applications and "sits in the middle." Although using something like Plaid introduces a potential for privacy issues, they likely can achieve a higher level of security and maintain data privacy better than a single application could.
