If you dispute a Telegram Premium charge with your bank or payment provider, Telegram is allowed to share information about your account and purchases with that third party.
Exercising your legal right to dispute a charge through your bank triggers automatic disclosure of your Telegram account data and purchase history to the payment processor, reducing your privacy protections when asserting financial rights.

Compare across platforms →This clause conditions the exercise of a standard consumer financial right (chargeback) on consent to data sharing, which raises concerns under GDPR about coerced consent and may deter users from exercising legitimate rights.
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Article 6(1) (lawful basis for processing) and Article 7(4) (conditions for consent — consent shall not be freely given if it is conditional on service performance). It also engages GDPR Articles 13-14 on transparency, as this data-sharing trigger may not be sufficiently prominent in the privacy notice. The UK GDPR and ICO guidance on consent apply equally. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and state wiretapping analogues may be engaged in US contexts. Enforced by EU DPAs and the UK ICO. (2)
