Frank Terms of Service

Last updated: June 5, 2026

Welcome to Frank, a service of Control. Alt. Delete LLC ("Frank," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policygovern your use of Frank's website, text-messaging service, and related applications and software (collectively, the "Services"). Please read them carefully.

Frank is a private money line you reach by text. You connect a financial account once, in read-onlymode, and Frank helps you understand your money — what's safe to spend, what just changed, and what's quietly creeping up — and may proactively text you when something appears worth your attention. Frank can never move, send, or withdraw your money.

Agreement to Terms. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Communications consent.By using the Services, you consent to receive communications from us — including text messages, email, and in-product messages — about your account, security, and the Services. See "Text Messaging" below and our Privacy Policy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND FRANK THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW THE "DISPUTE RESOLUTION" SECTION BELOW CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT.

Not Financial Advice; No Fiduciary Relationship

Informational only. Frank is a technology service that helps you understand your own money. Frank is not a bank, broker-dealer, investment adviser, tax adviser, accountant, or financial planner, and Frank does not provide financial, investment, tax, legal, or accounting advice. Nothing Frank tells you is a recommendation to take or refrain from any particular action.

No fiduciary duty. Using the Services does not create a fiduciary, advisory, or professional relationship between you and Frank. You are solely responsible for your financial decisions, and you should consult a qualified professional before making important ones.

Connecting Your Accounts (Read-Only)

(a) Authorization.When you connect a financial account, you authorize Frank and our connectivity provider, Plaid Inc. ("Plaid"), to access information from that account on your behalf in read-only mode, including balances, account details, and transaction history. You enter your credentials directly through Plaid; we never receive or store your bank login credentials.

(b) No movement of funds. The connection is read-only. Frank cannot and will not move, transfer, send, withdraw, or make payments from your accounts.

(c) Your representations. You represent that any account you connect belongs to you or that you are authorized to connect it, and that the information you provide is accurate.

(d) Disconnecting.You may disconnect an account at any time, which stops Frank from receiving further information from it. Your use of Plaid is also subject to Plaid's end user terms and privacy policy.

Text Messaging

Frank communicates with you primarily by text message. By providing your mobile number and using the Services, you consent to receive text messages from us, which may be sent using automated technology. Message frequency varies based on your use of the Services. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time and HELPfor help. You represent that the mobile number you provide belongs to you, and you agree to notify us if it changes. Opting out of text messages will limit or end Frank's ability to provide the Services.

AI-Generated Content

Frank uses artificial intelligence to generate its responses and insights. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Frank's figures (such as "safe to spend," balances, or projections) are estimates based on the information available to it and may not reflect your true financial position. Do not rely on Frank as your sole source of truth — verify important information with your financial institution before acting on it.
