Why it matters

Sharing your personal data with merchants means more parties than just Klarna hold your information, and each merchant's own privacy practices will then govern how they use your data.

Consumer impact

Klarna collects extensive personal data including financial information, purchase history, and behavioural data, and shares it with a broad range of third parties including merchants, credit reference agencies, and advertising partners. This means your shopping habits and financial profile may be used for credit decisions and targeted advertising beyond what you might expect from a payment service. You can review and exercise your data rights β€” including access, deletion, and portability β€” by logging into your Klarna account and visiting the privacy settings section.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC oversees consumer data sharing practices and can act against deceptive or unfair disclosures about third-party data transfers.
