In regards to 4)

I ᴍᴇᴛ a Traveller from an antique land, Who said, “ Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart.[17] Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read, Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: “ My name is Oᴢʏᴍᴀɴᴅɪᴀs, King of Kings.” Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair! No thing beside remains. Round the decay Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Me: Always been curious - do you (Plaid) use the transaction data or any other data obtained from customers logins for anything other than the reason the customer supply’s their credentials? I.e if I use plaid to link to my Robin Hood account, do you in any way sell/share/use my data apart from allowing me to fund my Robin Hood account?

Response: Good question! No, we don't. Our official statement on this is at https://plaid.com/how-we-handle-data/ "Plaid only shares your data with your consent. We don’t share your personal information without your permission, and we don’t sell or rent it to outside companies."
