Reissued 2026-10-07: this change was first recorded in reverse as CA-X-001294, which was withdrawn; this record describes it in the order it happened. Stripe updated its Privacy Policy (last updated February 23, 2026, replacing the version of January 16, 2025). The definition of Transaction Data now includes payment status, order fulfillment status, subscription status, tax amounts, refund or chargeback information, and support interactions. The policy says a Link account can be used to access services from Stripe's partner businesses, such as Buy Now, Pay Later or crypto wallet services, and that you can withdraw consent to the collection of bank account data by disconnecting your bank account.
Consumers: Stripe collects more detailed information about your transactions and shares it with partner businesses when you use Link to access their services.
The updated policy expands the categories of transaction data Stripe collects and uses. Transaction Data now explicitly includes payment status, order fulfillment status, subscription status, applicable tax amounts, refund or chargeback information, and support interactions—in addition to previously listed items like name, contact information, and payment method details. The policy also clarifies that Link accounts can be used to access partner services such as Buy Now, Pay Later and crypto wallet services, and that Stripe will collect and share additional personal data with those partners to facilitate such services. You can withdraw your consent for bank account data collection by disconnecting your bank account from Link.
