Last updated: January 3, 2026

Why We Provide This Notice

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) is a federal law that requires financial institutions to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data.

AB Foundry LLC, doing business as OneBudget ("OneBudget," "we," "us," or "our"), is committed to protecting your financial privacy. This notice describes how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal financial information in compliance with GLBA.

Information Sharing

We share your information only with service providers necessary to operate OneBudget. We do not sell your information to third parties.

Service Providers We Share With:

  • Plaid: Financial data aggregation to securely connect your bank accounts (read-only access)

Legal Disclosures:

We may disclose your information when required by law, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect our rights and property.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal financial information to third parties for marketing purposes.

How We Protect Your Information

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your nonpublic personal information:

Encryption

  • AES-256 encryption for all data at rest in our DynamoDB database
  • TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit
  • Bank-grade encryption standards throughout our infrastructure

Access Controls

  • Limited employee access to customer data (only when necessary for support or legal compliance)
  • All data access is logged and monitored
  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative access

Credential Protection

  • We NEVER store your bank login credentials—Plaid uses secure OAuth tokens
  • Passwords are salted and hashed using PBKDF2 key derivation (never stored in plain text)
  • Brute force attack prevention on login attempts

Infrastructure Security

  • AWS infrastructure with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI Level 1 certifications
  • Regular security monitoring and incident response

Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your personal financial information:

  • Access: Request a copy of the information we have about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings
  • Export: Download your transaction data in CSV format
  • Disconnect Accounts: Remove bank connections via Plaid at any time
  • Opt-Out of Communications: Manage notification preferences in Settings

Opt-Out Rights

Under GLBA, you have the right to opt out of certain information sharing. However, because we do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes and only share with service providers necessary to operate our service, there are no information-sharing practices from which you can opt out at this time.

If our information-sharing practices change, we will update this notice and provide you with opt-out options as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain your financial information as follows:

  • Active Accounts: Transaction data retained for up to 2 years to provide historical analysis
  • Expired Accounts: Limited retention period to allow account reactivation
  • Deleted Accounts: All data completely and irreversibly destroyed (not just marked inactive)
  • Legal Requirements: Some data may be retained longer if required by law

Former Customers

If you are a former customer (closed your account), we continue to protect your information in accordance with the practices described in this notice for any data that remains in our systems before final deletion.

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to modify this GLBA Privacy Notice at any time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through a prominent notice in the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

We will provide you with a new notice annually if our information-sharing practices change in a way that requires additional opt-out opportunities.
