ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes that payment card data is collected by a third-party partner rather than Linear directly, meaning Stripe's separate privacy practices govern that data rather than Linear's Privacy Policy alone.

Interpretive note: The canonical claim captures the primary proposition (partner collects payment card data). The instruction to review Stripe's policies is a secondary proposition recorded in omitted_material. Stripe is identified by name only in the clause name and in the reference to its policies, not in the sentence establishing data collection.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

A reader's payment card information is collected by Linear's payment processing partner, not by Linear directly, and Stripe's terms and privacy policy govern how that partner uses and stores the data.
