Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

While Mercury implements security controls, the disclaimer that absolute security cannot be guaranteed is standard but important for users to understand given the highly sensitive financial and identity data Mercury holds.

You can submit a data access, deletion, or opt-out request through Mercury's privacy portal at mercury.com or by emailing privacy@mercury.com.
