You will be required to provide certain personal information, such as your name, maiden name (if applicable), mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, birth date, and such other information that is required by Vaulted for the purpose of conducting our business and complying with US law. Vaulted is the sole owner of the information that is collected. The purpose of collecting this information from you is to provide you with an efficient and pleasant experience while using our services and to maintain accurate and up to date records. Additional personal information (e.g., your bank account information and billing address) is collected to process transactions or to provide you with products and services.
One way of linking your bank account with Vaulted is through Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”). If you choose to link a bank account with your Vaulted account through Plaid, Vaulted uses Plaid to verify your account details.
