The use of AI technology to process support query data, which may include personal data submitted by Business Users and their End Customers, introduces an additional sub-processor relationship that Business Users should account for in their data processing documentation.

Interpretive note: The document does not specify which Microsoft AI products or services are used, which limits assessment of the specific processing activities, data retention terms, or EU AI Act classification applicable to this sub-processor relationship.

"Microsoft Corporation Information included in the queries raised by the individuals contacting Stripe support Provide AI technology to improve the quality of user support operations United StatesExcerpt from Stripe's Service Providers (Sub-Processors)
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: AI-assisted processing of personal data from support queries engages GDPR principles of purpose limitation and data minimization, as well as the EU AI Act for applicable AI system classifications. The document does not specify the AI system type, which affects EU AI Act applicability assessment. The FTC has signaled scrutiny of AI-assisted data processing practices under its consumer protection authority. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of AI technology in support operations introduces processing activities that may not have been anticipated in existing DPA schedules or privacy notices. Business Users should confirm that AI-assisted processing is disclosed in their own privacy documentation where required by applicable law. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA Business Users face GDPR obligations regarding disclosure of automated processing and, where applicable, profiling. The transfer of support query data to Microsoft's US-based AI infrastructure requires a valid cross-border transfer mechanism. California CCPA may require disclosure of AI-assisted processing in consumer privacy notices. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business Users should confirm that their DPA schedules reflect Microsoft Corporation as a sub-processor for AI-assisted support operations, and assess whether any automated decision-making disclosures are required under GDPR Article 22 depending on the specific AI processing involved. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should review privacy notices to confirm disclosure of AI-assisted support query processing. Teams should also confirm with Stripe what data retention and access controls apply to support query data processed by Microsoft's AI systems, as the document does not specify these parameters.
