Facebook claimed repeatedly that they had never sold user data, and it turns out this was true: Instead, they had bartered user data for increased access or other privileges elsewhere.

I'd like to hear a broader statement on the specific phrasing in this article: « the fintech firm passed on personal banking data to third party firms without user consent ».

No, 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.
