Privacy Statement
Crescentic LLC privacy practices.
Crescentic LLC respects the privacy of the individuals and organizations that use our websites, applications, products, capabilities, and services.
This Privacy Statement explains how Crescentic LLC (“Crescentic,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects Personal Information.
This Privacy Statement applies to Crescentic websites, communications, applications, products, and services that link to it, including wealthABL™, docABL™, tokenizABL™, passABL™, PayBax, Gyrence, Lacuna Index, theNeedle, bridgeABL™, Corporate Action Chain, E-ZKonnex, RoleCanvas™, and JNL Square.
Certain Crescentic products collect or process specialized information or operate under different legal, contractual, or regulatory requirements. Those products may provide a supplemental Product Privacy Notice. A Product Privacy Notice supplements this Privacy Statement and controls with respect to the product-specific practices described in that notice.
Questions about this Privacy Statement or Crescentic’s handling of Personal Information may be directed to the Crescentic Privacy Office at: privacy@crescentic.ai.
01Scope and Crescentic’s role
“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be associated or linked with an individual or household. The meaning of Personal Information may vary under applicable law.
Crescentic may process Personal Information in different capacities depending on the product, service, and relationship involved.
Direct relationships
When an individual creates an account directly with Crescentic, subscribes to a Crescentic product, visits a Crescentic website, or otherwise interacts directly with Crescentic, Crescentic generally determines why and how the individual’s Personal Information is processed.
Client-directed processing
When Crescentic provides technology or services to a financial institution, issuer, employer, advisor, lender, service provider, or other organizational client, Crescentic may process Personal Information on that client’s behalf and according to its documented instructions.
In those circumstances, the client generally controls the relevant records and determines the purposes for which the information is processed. Individuals should ordinarily direct privacy requests concerning those records to the organization with which they have the underlying account or relationship.
Crescentic will support its clients in responding to privacy requests where required by contract or applicable law.
02Product Privacy Notices
A Product Privacy Notice may be provided where a Crescentic product has data practices that are materially different from the general practices described in this Privacy Statement.
Product Privacy Notices may address matters such as:
- Connected email accounts and communications
- Financial accounts, assets, liabilities, and transactions
- Tax, cost-basis, portfolio, and performance information
- Estate plans, trusts, beneficiaries, family relationships, and documents
- Investor onboarding and identity verification
- Tokenized assets, wallet addresses, and blockchain transactions
- Loan, borrower, payment, or servicing information
- Behavioral assessments and inferred characteristics
- User-directed web data collection
- Artificial intelligence and automated analysis
- Text-message notifications and consent
- Delegated access by accountants, advisors, attorneys, executors, trustees, family members, and other trusted representatives
- Enterprise data-processing arrangements
Where a Product Privacy Notice conflicts with this Privacy Statement regarding a product-specific practice, the Product Privacy Notice controls for that practice.
Customer agreements, Data Processing Addenda, and other negotiated contracts may also govern Crescentic’s processing of information on behalf of organizational clients.

07Artificial intelligence and automated processing
Certain Crescentic products use artificial intelligence, machine learning, rules engines, algorithms, or other automated methods to:
- Organize and classify information
- Identify patterns or anomalies
- Prioritize content
- Generate summaries
- Extract information
- Support research or analysis
- Produce recommendations
- Assist with workflow and decision support

Automated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or inappropriate for a particular purpose. Users should review material outputs and apply independent judgment before acting on them.
Crescentic does not ordinarily use solely automated processing to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning an individual unless the processing is specifically disclosed and permitted under applicable law.
Crescentic products are not intended to replace professional legal, financial, tax, investment, medical, employment, or other regulated advice unless expressly stated in applicable product terms.
A Product Privacy Notice may identify additional information concerning the data, providers, retention, and controls associated with a particular artificial-intelligence feature.
08Delegated and trusted-party access
Certain Crescentic products allow an account owner to authorize another person or organization to access selected information or perform permitted actions.
Authorized representatives may include:
- Accountants
- Financial advisors
- Attorneys
- Executors
- Trustees
- Agents
- Family members
- Caregivers
- Other trusted representatives
The account owner determines whom to authorize and, where supported, the scope and duration of that access.
Crescentic may collect and retain information concerning invitations, permissions, authentication events, access activity, and revocation for security, support, compliance, and audit purposes.
Authorized representatives may access information only within the permissions made available through the applicable product.
The account owner is responsible for selecting appropriate representatives and reviewing or revoking access when it is no longer required.
An authorized representative may have independent professional, legal, fiduciary, regulatory, or contractual obligations concerning information accessed through Crescentic.
Revoking Crescentic access prevents future access through the Crescentic platform. It may not delete information that an authorized representative previously downloaded, exported, or otherwise retained outside the platform.
09How we disclose Personal Information
Crescentic may disclose Personal Information to the following categories of recipients.
Service providers
Crescentic may provide information to companies that support:

These providers may process information only to provide services to Crescentic, subject to applicable contracts, confidentiality obligations, and legal requirements.
Organizational clients
Where Crescentic processes information on behalf of an organizational client, the information may be accessible to that client and its authorized users according to the applicable agreement and product permissions.
User-authorized recipients
Crescentic may disclose information when a user:
- Invites a trusted representative
- Connects a third-party service

Governmental and legal recipients
Crescentic may disclose information to courts, regulators, law-enforcement agencies, governmental authorities, or other persons when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or property.

Affiliates and related entities
Crescentic may disclose information to a subsidiary, affiliate, or related entity where necessary to provide or support a Crescentic service, subject to this Privacy Statement, applicable Product Privacy Notices, and legal requirements.
10Sale, sharing, and targeted advertising
Crescentic does not sell individual consumer or account-holder Personal Information for monetary consideration.
Crescentic websites may use analytics, advertising, or similar technologies that applicable privacy laws may define as a sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising.
Where applicable, users may exercise available choices through Crescentic’s Cookie & Privacy Preferences page or another opt-out mechanism presented on the relevant website or application.
Information processed on behalf of an enterprise client is not used for unrelated advertising purposes.
11Mobile information and SMS consent
Mobile information, text-message originator opt-in data, and SMS consent information will not be sold, rented, purchased, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
Crescentic may provide mobile information to communications providers and other service providers solely to operate, deliver, secure, and support the applicable messaging program.
Those providers may use the information only to perform services for Crescentic and may not use it for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
Message types, message frequency, support information, and opt-out instructions are described in the SMS Policy or SMS Messaging Terms applicable to the relevant Crescentic product.
Users may reply STOP to discontinue applicable SMS messages or HELP for assistance.
Opting out of SMS messages does not necessarily affect other communications or product notifications that the user has separately authorized.
12Client confidential information
Information Crescentic processes on behalf of an organizational client is treated as the client’s Confidential Information and is used and disclosed according to:
- The applicable client agreement
- The client’s documented instructions
- Product permissions
- Applicable law
- Any relevant Data Processing Addendum
Where Crescentic serves a financial institution subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or another financial-privacy framework, Crescentic processes covered information in accordance with its applicable contractual and legal obligations.
This does not mean that every Crescentic product, client, or category of information is subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

- Contractual requirements

- Security and operational needs
Information may remain in backups, logs, or protected archival systems for a limited period after deletion from active systems.
Disconnecting an external account does not necessarily delete information previously obtained through that connection. The applicable Product Privacy Notice describes any product-specific deletion or retention practices.
14Information security
Crescentic uses administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
Depending on the product, safeguards may include:

No system, transmission method, storage environment, or security measure can guarantee absolute security.
Users are responsible for protecting their devices, email accounts, authentication methods, trusted-party permissions, and account access.
Security questions and suspected vulnerabilities may be reported to: security@crescentic.ai.

Where Crescentic holds information on behalf of an organizational client, the request should generally be directed to that client. Crescentic will assist the client as required by contract or applicable law.
Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law. Crescentic may require evidence of the agent’s authority and may verify the request directly with the individual.
16Marketing and communication choices
Users may unsubscribe from marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication.
Users may manage product alerts and notifications through available account or application settings.
Users may opt out of applicable SMS messages by replying STOP.
Certain account, security, transactional, legal, or service-related communications are necessary to provide a Crescentic product and may continue even when a user opts out of marketing communications.
17Cookies and privacy preferences
Crescentic websites and applications may use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Authentication
- Security
- User preferences
- Functionality
- Analytics
- Performance
- Advertising, where applicable
The technologies used may vary by product and website.
Additional information and available controls are provided through Crescentic’s Cookie & Privacy Preferences page or the consent-management interface presented on the relevant website or application.
Disabling certain cookies may affect authentication, functionality, preferences, or product performance.
18Cross-border processing
Crescentic is based in the United States and may use service providers located in other jurisdictions.
Personal Information may therefore be transferred to or processed in countries whose privacy laws differ from those of the individual’s location.
Where required, Crescentic uses contractual terms, transfer agreements, or other recognized legal mechanisms intended to protect transferred information.
A Product Privacy Notice or client agreement may provide additional information concerning data location or cross-border processing.
19Children and minors
Crescentic products are not directed to children under 13 unless a Product Privacy Notice expressly states otherwise and describes the applicable parental-consent or authorization process.
Crescentic does not knowingly collect Personal Information directly from children under 13 through a general-audience product without appropriate authorization.
Certain Crescentic products may process information about a minor when that information is provided by a parent, guardian, trustee, advisor, client, fiduciary, or other authorized adult for estate, trust, financial, family, or client-directed purposes.
The processing of information about a minor does not necessarily mean that the minor is a Crescentic user or account holder.
20Job applicants and workforce information
Personal Information submitted or collected in connection with employment, recruitment, contracting, or workforce administration may be used to:
- Evaluate qualifications
- Communicate with applicants
- Conduct permitted reference or background checks
- Administer employment or contracting relationships
- Protect Crescentic systems and personnel
- Comply with legal obligations
Additional workforce privacy information may be provided where required.
21Third-party sites and services
Crescentic products may contain links to or integrations with websites, services, applications, or platforms operated by third parties.
Crescentic is not responsible for the independent privacy, security, or data-handling practices of those third parties.
Users should review the privacy terms and permissions of a third-party service before authorizing a connection or submitting information to it.
22Changes to this Privacy Statement
Crescentic may update this Privacy Statement to reflect changes in its products, practices, service providers, technology, or legal obligations.
The version number and revision date will be updated when changes are published.
Where required, Crescentic will provide additional notice or obtain consent before applying a material change to previously collected Personal Information.
Changes to a Product Privacy Notice may be made independently of this Privacy Statement when they affect only the relevant product.
