Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
-
•
Account Information: Name, email address, password (encrypted with BCrypt hashing)
-
•
OAuth Data: When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and basic profile information. We do not access your Gmail, Drive, or other Google services.
-
•
Financial Data via Plaid: Account balances, transaction history, holdings, investment positions from your connected financial institutions
-
•
Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, feature usage
IMPORTANT: We NEVER store your banking usernames or passwords. Plaid handles all bank authentication directly—your credentials are transmitted securely to Plaid and your financial institution, never passing through our servers.
2. Financial Data via Plaid
When you connect a financial account, we use Plaid Technologies, Inc. to securely access your financial data. Plaid is a trusted financial technology provider used by thousands of apps.
How Plaid Works:
-
•
You authenticate directly with your bank through Plaid's secure interface
-
•
Plaid retrieves your financial data (balances, transactions, holdings) with your explicit consent
-
•
Plaid provides us with an encrypted access token (not your credentials) to retrieve your data
-
•
We store this access token encrypted in our database to refresh your financial data
What Data Plaid Shares With Us:
-
•
Account Information: Account names, types (checking, savings, investment, credit card), last 4 digits of account numbers
-
•
Balances: Current and available balances for all connected accounts
-
•
Transactions: Date, amount, merchant name, category for recent transactions (typically 90 days to 2 years)
-
•
Investment Holdings: Securities held, quantities, cost basis, market values (for brokerage/retirement accounts)
Your Control Over Plaid Connections:
-
•
You can disconnect any linked account at any time from your dashboard
-
•
Disconnecting an account revokes our access token and deletes associated financial data
-
•
Plaid connections require reauthorization every 12 months for security
-
•
You can also revoke Plaid's access directly at my.plaid.com
Plaid's Security: Plaid is SOC 2 Type II certified and ISO 27001 compliant. They encrypt all data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Review Plaid's privacy policy at plaid.com/legal.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide and improve our wealth management platform:
-
•
Portfolio Tracking: Aggregate balances across all your accounts to calculate net worth and asset allocation
-
•
Performance Analytics: Track portfolio performance over time, calculate returns, and generate historical valuation snapshots
-
•
Multi-Entity Organization: Support complex ownership structures (LLCs, trusts, S-Corps) and track accounts across entities
-
•
Automated Reporting: Generate statements, tax documents, and portfolio summaries
-
•
Service Communications: Send account updates, security alerts, system notifications, and respond to support requests
-
•
Platform Improvements: Analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to enhance features and fix bugs
-
•
Compliance & Security: Detect fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, comply with legal obligations
DISCLAIMER: Our platform provides informational tools only and does NOT constitute investment advice, tax advice, or financial planning services. Always consult licensed professionals before making financial decisions.
4. How We Protect Your Data
We implement industry-leading security measures to protect your financial information:
-
•
Encryption at Rest: AES-256 encryption for all database storage (Amazon Aurora MySQL with AWS KMS). Sensitive fields (tax IDs, account numbers, Plaid access tokens) are encrypted at the application level with Rails Active Record Encryption.
-
•
Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.2+ for all connections. HTTP traffic is automatically redirected to HTTPS at the load balancer.
-
•
Password Security: BCrypt hashing with salt for password-based accounts. OAuth-only users don't have passwords stored.
-
•
Network Isolation: Our database runs in isolated private subnets with no direct internet access. Only our application servers in private subnets can connect.
-
•
Infrastructure Security: Hosted on AWS ECS Fargate with security groups enforcing least-privilege access. VPC flow logs monitor rejected traffic.
-
•
Secrets Management: Sensitive credentials (database passwords, API keys, OAuth secrets) are stored in AWS Secrets Manager, never in code.
-
•
Access Controls: Role-based admin permissions, account lockout after 5 failed login attempts, Google reCAPTCHA v3 on authentication endpoints.
-
•
Security Headers: Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options to prevent XSS and clickjacking attacks.
Infrastructure Compliance: Our platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure that maintains SOC 2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP certifications. While AMP inherits these infrastructure protections, AMP itself has not undergone independent SOC 2 certification.
