You agree to your personal and financial information being transferred, stored, and processed by Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy.

User Data Supplementation

We may receive information about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this data with information we already have about you. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you. If you provide us personal information about others, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.

Examples of the types of personal information that may be obtained from public sources or purchased from third parties and combined with information we already have about you may include:

  • Address information about you from third-party sources, such as the U.S. Postal Service, to verify your address as part of our KYC program to prevent fraud.
  • Purchased marketing data about our customers from third parties that is combined with information we already have about you, to create more tailored advertising and products.

PEAC will use the information you furnish to evaluate your application, provide you with updates regarding the application’s status and, if appropriate, initiate the funding process. PEAC will also use the information you provide to service and administer any accounts you may have with PEAC and to offer you other products and services available through PEAC or other entities. In addition, PEAC may use the information provided by the Site users for statistical, marketing or other purposes.

PEAC limits employee access to the information you provide to those employees who have a business reason to know such information. PEAC may also share your information with its affiliated companies as may be permitted by applicable law.
