Stripe updated its privacy policy on April 23, 2026, but the substantive changes detected are minimal. The update date listed in the document was revised from February 23, 2026 to January 16, 2026, and three email contact lines for data subject rights requests had minor formatting adjustments (adding trailing spaces before the period). These are formatting and administrative changes with no material operational impact on how the privacy policy functions or what rights consumers have.
No material changes to consumer rights or privacy protections were made in this update. The privacy policy continues to authorize Stripe to state the same data practices and provide the same contact methods for exercising rights. Consumers can continue to exercise data subject rights by contacting the DPO at dpo@stripe.com or the Global Head of Privacy at privacy@stripe.com, as stated in the updated policy.
Contact lines for exercising privacy rights received minor formatting adjustments; substantive contact methods and rights remain unchanged.
