1. About this disclosure
The Keel platform (KeelManager, at keelmanager.com) offers an optional
bank-connection feature that lets an authorized administrator link a fund's bank
account to power transaction reconciliation. To provide it, Keel uses Plaid Inc.
("Plaid") as its data-aggregation provider. This disclosure explains that flow. It is
read together with our Privacy Policy.
Keel provides this feature as the software provider on the tenant's behalf; the
tenant firm decides whether to enable it and which accounts to connect.
2. What happens when an account is connected
- When an administrator connects a bank account, Plaid securely collects the login
credentials directly — Keel never sees or stores your online-banking username or
password.
- Plaid returns to Keel an access token plus account and transaction data (such as
balances, transaction amounts, dates, and descriptions) for the connected account.
- Keel uses that data only to display the bank ledger and to reconcile transactions
against capital-call payments and distributions within the platform.
3. How the data is used and protected
Bank-connection data is treated as sensitive and is protected with the safeguards
described in our Privacy Policy and
Information Security Policy, including encryption and
role-based access. Keel does not sell this data and does not use it for advertising.
4. Your consent and control
Connecting an account is optional and requires the administrator's explicit action. Your
use of Plaid is also governed by Plaid's own end-user privacy policy. A connected account
can be disconnected at any time, after which Keel stops retrieving new data from it and
retains prior records only as required for financial-record, audit, and legal purposes.
