What it is

To process data subject rights requests, Adyen may require identity verification from the requesting individual and, for requests submitted through authorized representatives, signed permission documentation and direct identity verification of the data subject.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that exercising data subject rights requires submission of identity verification information, which the policy states will be disclosed to Adyen's third-party privacy management service provider. Requests submitted via authorized representatives require additional documentation including signed authorization and may require direct identity verification of the data subject.
