End User Consent and Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 7th, 2021
Spinwheel’s Mission
Our mission at Spinwheel is to empower Americans by delivering access to, insights and tools for their financial accounts, including loans in repayment with loan service providers. Our technology provides an easy way for you to connect your financial accounts to software applications that can help you do things that can get out of debt sooner, save money, transfer funds, initiate donations, and create wealth. These applications are built and provided by our business customers (known as “developers” here), and powered by Spinwheel. By delivering access to high-quality, usable loan service account data that we’ve translated and standardized, and tools to transact, we enable developers to focus on building experiences that benefit you.
This Policy
Our goal with this Policy is to provide a simple and straightforward explanation of what information Spinwheel collects from and about end users (“End User Information”), and how we use and share that information. We value transparency and want to provide you with a clear and concise description of how we treat your End User Information.
Please note that this Policy only covers the information that Spinwheel collects, uses, and shares. It does not explain what developers do with any End User Information we provide to them (or any other information they may collect about you separately from Spinwheel). This Policy also does not cover any websites, products, or services provided by others. We encourage you to review the privacy policies or notices of developers or those third parties for information about their practices.

We have no responsibility for products and services offered by the Developer and are not liable to you for any harm, damage or loss arising from your use of the products and services provided through the Developer’s program.

Our Data Practices
Information We Collect and Categories of Sources
As explained in greater detail below, Spinwheel has collected identifiers, commercial information, electronic network activity information, professional information, inferences, and other types of End User Information. The information we collect automatically or through other mechanism other than your provision of information to us, may include personal information, or we may maintain or associate it with personal information we collect. End User Information that identifies you personally is treated as personal information.
Information you provide.
When you connect your loan service provider account and/or financial accounts with a developer application or otherwise connect your financial accounts through Spinwheel, where applicable, we collect identifiers and login information required by the provider of your account, such as your username and password, or a security token. In some cases, we also collect your phone number, email address, security questions and answers, and one-time password (OTP) to help verify your identity before connecting your financial accounts. When providing this information, you give the developer and Spinwheel the authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your End User Information from the financial product and service providers. You may also provide us with identifiers and other information, including your name, email address, and phone number, when you contact us or enter any such information on our websites.
Information we collect from your financial accounts.
The information we receive from the financial product and service providers that maintain your accounts varies depending on the specific Spinwheel services developers use to power their applications, as well as the information made available by those providers. But, in general, we may collect the following types of identifiers, commercial information, and other personal information from your financial product and service providers:
-
Account information, including financial institution name, account name, account type, account ownership, branch number, IBAN, BIC, and account and routing number;
-
Information about an account balance, including current and available balance;
-
Information about credit accounts, including due dates, balances owed, payment amounts and dates, transaction history, credit limit, repayment status, and interest rate;

Identifiers and information about the account owner(s), including name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and address information;
-
Information about account transactions, including amount, date, payee, type, quantity, price, location, involved securities, and a description of the transaction; and
-
Professional information, including information about your employer, in limited cases where you’ve connected your payroll accounts.
The data collected from your financial accounts includes information from all your accounts (e.g., checking, savings, and credit card) accessible through a single set of account credentials.
Information we receive from your devices.
When you use your device to connect to our services through a developer’s application, we receive identifiers and electronic network activity information about that device, including IP address, hardware model, operating system, which features within our services you access, and other technical information about the device. We may also use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect usage statistics and to help us provide and improve our services. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. This website does not respond to do not track signals.
Information we receive about you from other sources.
We also receive identifiers and commercial information about you directly from the relevant developer or other third parties, including our service providers, bank partners, and identity verification services. For example, developers may provide information such as your full name, email address, phone number, or information about your financial accounts and account transactions.
Inferences we derive from the data we collect.
We may use the information we collect about you to derive inferences. For example, we may infer your location or your projected income based on the information we have collected about you from other sources.
