Privacy policy

Manta is a platform for families and their advisors to manage expenses and wealth. It is provided by Pelagic Labs, Inc. (“Pelagic Labs”, “we”). This policy explains what data the Manta website, web app and iPhone app collect, and what we do with it.

Manta is available by invitation only. Each family or family office that uses Manta (a “client”) decides who gets access and what data goes in. For that data, the client is the controller and we process it on their behalf. For your sign-in details, we are the controller.

What we collect

• Account details. Your name and email address, received from Apple or Google when you sign in. We never see your Apple or Google password.
• Documents you add. Invoices, receipts, statements and other files you scan or upload, and the details read from them (such as vendor, amount and bank details).
• Financial records. The expenses, approvals, accounts, positions and assets your client keeps in Manta.
• Signatures. The signature image you provide and a record of each approval you sign or reject.
• Assistant conversations. Questions you ask Manta’s AI assistant and its answers.
• Device information. A push notification token for your iPhone, if you allow notifications.
• Activity records. A log of actions taken in your client’s workspace (for example, who signed an invoice and when), and security logs of sign-ins.

What we don’t do

• We don’t sell your data.
• We don’t show ads or track you across other apps or websites.
• We don’t use analytics or advertising tools from third parties in the app.
• We don’t move money. Manta records approvals; payments happen outside Manta.

How we use your data

We use it only to run Manta: to sign you in, show you your client’s workspace, read the documents you add, route and record approvals, send you notifications, keep the service secure, and answer support requests.

iPhone permissions

• Camera: used only when you scan a document.
• Photos and Files: we receive only the items you pick.
• Face ID: used for the optional app lock. Face ID data stays on your device; we never receive it.
• Notifications: used to tell you when something needs your approval.

Who we share it with

Other people in your client’s workspace can see data according to the role your client gave them. Beyond that, we share data only with the service providers we need to run Manta:

Anthropic processes data under terms that do not allow it to train its models on your data. Where data leaves Switzerland or the EU, we rely on standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard. We may also disclose data if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Client data (financial records, documents, approvals and signatures): kept while your client uses Manta. When a client leaves, we delete its data 60 days after termination, unless the client asks us to keep it longer or the law requires it.
• Assistant conversations: 90 days.
• Security logs: 2 years.
• Backups: deleted within 35 days.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your personal data, or object to how we use it. Email hello@mantafi.com and we will reply within 30 days. To have your access removed, you can also ask your client’s administrator.

Signed approvals are legal records, so we cannot change or remove them. If you ask us to delete your data, we replace your name on those records with a pseudonym and tell you what we kept and why.

If you are in the EU or Switzerland, you can also complain to your data protection authority (in Switzerland, the FDPIC).

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Each client’s data is kept separate from every other client’s. Access by our staff is limited and logged.

Children

Manta is not intended for anyone under 18.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date above. For significant changes, we will tell your client’s administrator.
