Clarity Money was shut down by Goldman Sachs in March 2021, and the row's value is as a worked example of what happens to a personal finance app's data when the acquirer folds it: users had connected bank accounts and granted access to transaction history - among the most complete behavioural records that exist - to a startup, which was then acquired, and then discontinued. The data did not evaporate with the product. Nothing in a consumer agreement requires deletion on shutdown, and users generally do not think to demand it. Cross-ref the Bird row in Travel & Transit Apps: same structure, bankruptcy instead of acquisition.
