OctoWealth uses financial data to help you view accounts, balances, transactions, budgets, bills, subscriptions, debts, liabilities, investments, net worth, cash flow, reports, exports, and financial insights.

OctoWealth uses read-only financial account access.

OctoWealth does not use Plaid to move money, initiate ACH transfers, initiate payments, execute trades, issue credit, open accounts, make loans, make credit decisions, repair credit, or take financial action on your behalf.

Why OctoWealth Needs Financial Data

OctoWealth is designed to help you understand your personal finances in one place.

To do that, the app needs access to certain financial information from the accounts you choose to connect.

For example:

  • to show your checking account balance, OctoWealth needs account and balance data;
  • to show your spending, OctoWealth needs transaction data;
  • to categorize expenses, OctoWealth needs transaction descriptions, merchant names, dates, and amounts;
  • to detect subscriptions, OctoWealth needs recurring transaction patterns;
  • to calculate net worth, OctoWealth needs asset and debt balances;
  • to show investment views, OctoWealth needs investment account and holdings data;
  • to help with debt payoff strategies, OctoWealth needs liability balances and related loan or credit information where available;
  • to generate reports and exports, OctoWealth needs the underlying account, balance, transaction, budget, investment, or debt data that appears in those reports.

OctoWealth only receives financial data for accounts you choose to connect and features you choose to use.

Data Sharing in Plain English

OctoWealth shares financial data only as needed to provide, operate, secure, support, and maintain the app.

Examples:

  • Plaid: used to connect financial accounts and retrieve authorized account data.
  • AWS: used to host, store, secure, process, log, back up, and operate OctoWealth.
  • Sentry, if enabled: used for crash reporting and performance diagnostics.
  • Apple and Google: used for app distribution, mobile platform services, push notifications, and billing where applicable.
  • Stripe, if used: used for subscription checkout, billing, and customer portal functionality.
  • Jira Service Management: used for support tickets where applicable.
  • Market and currency data providers: used for ticker, crypto, or exchange-rate reference data.

OctoWealth does not sell your financial data.

OctoWealth does not share your financial data with ad networks.

OctoWealth does not use your financial data for third-party advertising.

7

Ongoing Sync

When you connect a financial account, OctoWealth may continue syncing information from that account so the app can remain useful.

Ongoing sync may be used to refresh:

  • balances;
  • transactions;
  • pending transactions;
  • posted transactions;
  • liabilities;
  • investment balances;
  • holdings;
  • recurring bill patterns;
  • subscription patterns.

Sync may occur periodically, automatically, when you open the app, when you request a refresh, when Plaid sends an update, or when needed for service operation.

You can stop future syncing by disconnecting the financial institution where the feature is available, requesting assistance from support, revoking access through Plaid or your financial institution, or deleting your OctoWealth account.

8

Disconnecting Financial Accounts

You may disconnect a financial institution from OctoWealth where the disconnect feature is available in the app.

If a per-institution disconnect feature is not yet available, you may contact:

support@octowealthapp.com

When a financial institution is disconnected, OctoWealth will take reasonable steps to:

  • stop future syncing from that institution;
  • remove the relevant Plaid access token from active use;
  • call Plaid’s item removal process where applicable;
  • prevent future updates from that institution unless you reconnect it.

Disconnecting a financial institution does not necessarily delete all previously synced data. Previously synced data may remain in OctoWealth for historical dashboards, budgets, reports, exports, records, security, backup, legal, or operational purposes unless you delete it, request deletion, or delete your account, subject to retention limitations.

9

Deleting Financial Data

You may request deletion of your OctoWealth account and associated data through the app, where available, or by contacting:

support@octowealthapp.com

When account deletion is executed, OctoWealth takes reasonable steps to:

  • delete or close your OctoWealth account;
  • revoke connected Plaid items where applicable;
  • remove Plaid tokens from active use;
  • stop future syncing;
  • delete or de-identify active financial data associated with your account, subject to retention exceptions.

Some data may remain temporarily in backups, disaster recovery systems, logs, audit records, billing records, security records, or legally required records.

For example:

  • CloudWatch logs may be retained for approximately 14 days;
  • SQS dead-letter queue messages may be retained for approximately 14 days;
  • DynamoDB point-in-time recovery may retain recoverable copies for up to approximately 35 days;
  • AWS Backup snapshots may persist for up to approximately 90 days;
  • certain S3 access logs may be retained for approximately 90 days;
  • some records may be retained longer if required for legal, accounting, security, fraud prevention, support, or operational reasons.
10

Financial Data Accuracy

Financial data in OctoWealth may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, duplicated, or miscategorized.

This can happen because of:

  • financial institution delays;
  • Plaid connection issues;
  • account authentication issues;
  • pending transactions;
  • institution outages;
  • API limitations;
  • data refresh timing;
  • categorization errors;
  • user-entered errors;
  • market data delays;
  • currency rate delays.

You should verify important financial information directly with your financial institution, card issuer, lender, brokerage, tax adviser, accountant, attorney, financial adviser, or other qualified professional before making financial decisions.

11

No Financial Advice

OctoWealth uses financial data to provide informational tools.

OctoWealth does not provide:

  • legal advice;
  • tax advice;
  • accounting advice;
  • investment advice;
  • credit repair advice;
  • lending advice;
  • debt settlement advice;
  • banking advice;
  • professional financial planning advice;
  • fiduciary advice.

You are responsible for your own financial decisions.

12

Short In-App Version

The following shorter version may be used in the app during onboarding, legal screens, or before connecting accounts:

OctoWealth uses Plaid to access financial data from U.S. accounts you choose to connect. This may include account details, balances, transactions, liabilities, investments, and identity information where enabled and authorized.

We use this data to power app features such as dashboards, budgets, transaction categorization, bills and subscription detection, net worth, cash flow, debt strategies, investment tracking, reports, exports, and financial insights.

OctoWealth uses read-only financial account access. We do not move money, initiate payments, initiate ACH transfers, execute trades, issue credit, make loans, make financial decisions for you, sell your financial data, use your financial data for advertising, or send your financial data to third-party LLM providers at launch.

You can disconnect financial institutions where available, request help at support@octowealthapp.com , or delete your OctoWealth account. Disconnecting stops future syncing but may not automatically delete data already stored by OctoWealth.
