"This Privacy Policy describes the Personal Data that we collect, how we use and share it, and how you can reach us with privacy-related inquiries.— Excerpt from Stripe's Stripe Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages CCPA and CPRA provisions regarding the sale or sharing of personal information with third parties for advertising purposes, triggering opt-out rights for California residents. Under GDPR, sharing personal data with advertising networks for behavioral targeting generally requires affirmative consent under the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in member states. The FTC has issued guidance on third-party tracking and data broker practices relevant to this type of sharing. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Sharing with advertising networks is common industry practice but creates compliance exposure in California (CCPA opt-out requirements), the EU (GDPR and ePrivacy consent requirements), and increasingly under state comprehensive privacy laws. The intersection of payment data with advertising data raises sensitivity concerns that may attract regulatory attention. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have a right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information under CCPA and CPRA. EU and EEA residents must provide affirmative consent for advertising-related data sharing under GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others) also provide opt-out rights for targeted advertising. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Stripe as a processor should confirm that advertising-related data sharing by Stripe for Stripe's own purposes is clearly delineated in the Data Processing Agreement, and that such sharing does not constitute onward transfer of the merchant's customer data without appropriate authorization. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should review Stripe's Cookies Policy in conjunction with this provision to understand the full scope of tracking technologies deployed. Organizations embedding Stripe in their platforms should assess whether their own consent management platforms adequately capture and communicate consent for Stripe's advertising-related data sharing. Opt-out mechanisms should be tested and documented.
