Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

We share Personal Data with our affiliates and subsidiaries... We also share Personal Data with third-party service providers who process data on our behalf to provide the Services, including for fraud detection, analytics, marketing, and customer support purposes.

Why it matters

Your personal data flows to Stripe's corporate affiliates and numerous third-party vendors, each of which has its own data practices and security posture, creating a broad data exposure footprint.

Consumer impact

Stripe collects extensive personal data — including device identifiers, IP addresses, browsing behavior, and inferred fraud risk scores — not only from direct Stripe users but also from individuals who simply complete a payment on any merchant site powered by Stripe, without ever creating a Stripe account. This data is shared with a broad ecosystem of Financial Partners, affiliates, and service providers for fraud prevention, compliance, and business improvement purposes, meaning your payment behavior may be profiled and shared across the financial system without your explicit awareness. You can exercise your rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict your data by visiting stripe.com/privacy-center or emailing privacy@stripe.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Email privacy@stripe.com to request information about which specific affiliates and third-party service providers have received your data, and to request deletion or restriction of sharing where permitted by law.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    FTC enforces GLBA Safeguards Rule and FTC Act Section 5 regarding disclosure and fairness of third-party and affiliate data sharing by non-bank financial institutions.
