The updated policy establishes formal complaint procedures for UK and Australia users, requiring Checkout to acknowledge complaints within 30 days and respond without undue delay. For UK users specifically, the policy clarifies that complaints must first be raised with Checkout before escalating to the Information Commissioner's Office. The policy also discloses that transaction information collection now includes country data alongside currency and amount. For Australia users, the policy clarifies that identity verification is a legal requirement and cannot be provided anonymously or pseudonymously. Users in these jurisdictions can submit data protection complaints through Checkout's designated process and escalate to their respective regulatory authorities if dissatisfied with Checkout's response.
