Are there data privacy concerns here ?. As a user im making a decision to share my data with a specific application but now a third party is actually in between us.
Our goal here is that users can trust their data is being handled correctly because we sit in the middle – much in the way Plaid handles personal financial data for specific applications and "sits in the middle." Although using something like Plaid introduces a potential for privacy issues, they likely can achieve a higher level of security and maintain data privacy better than a single application could.
