"Users authorise us and each Subsidiary to supply payment information details to a third-party payment provider for the purpose of processing Fan Payments.— Excerpt from OnlyFans's OnlyFans Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Sharing payment information with third-party processors engages UK GDPR and EU GDPR data protection obligations, including requirements for appropriate data processing agreements with processors and transparency about data flows. UK Payment Services Regulations 2017 and PSD2 in the EU also impose obligations on payment data handling. The PCI DSS standard governs the security of payment card data in transit and at rest across all entities in the payment chain. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision is broadly consistent with standard payment processing arrangements, but the explicit authorization to share with subsidiaries in addition to third-party processors expands the data flow beyond what may be strictly necessary for payment processing, which may require justification under GDPR data minimization principles. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA users benefit from GDPR protections requiring that any transfer of payment data to processors outside the EEA be governed by appropriate transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses. UK users have equivalent protections under UK GDPR. California residents may have additional rights under CCPA regarding the categories of third parties with whom their financial data is shared. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Legal teams should verify that OnlyFans has appropriate data processing agreements in place with all third-party payment processors and subsidiaries receiving payment data, and that cross-border data transfer mechanisms are adequate for EEA and UK users. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: A data mapping exercise should identify all third-party processors and subsidiaries receiving user payment data, verify that processing agreements comply with GDPR requirements, and confirm PCI DSS compliance across the payment chain. CCPA disclosure obligations regarding financial data sharing with service providers should also be assessed.
