Summary

This document is Visa's Privacy Notice, which explains where to find Visa's rules about how your personal information is collected, used, and shared, and how to exercise your privacy rights. Because some Visa products and platforms have their own separate privacy notices, you should read the specific notice for any Visa product you sign up for. If you want to exercise a privacy right, you can do so through Visa's Privacy Rights Portal.

Analysis

This document establishes Visa's framework for governing Personal Information by identifying the authoritative notices, portals, and programs that collectively define Visa's data collection, use, and disclosure practices. It designates the Global Privacy Notice as the primary governing instrument, supported by a separate Cookie Notice for online tracking data, supplemental legally mandated notices, and product-specific notices for individual Visa platforms. A Global Privacy Program applies safeguards across all information Visa collects and uses. Users are directed to a Privacy Rights Portal as the designated mechanism for submitting privacy rights requests, and a dedicated U.S. Social Security Number Policy and Sensitive Personal Information Statement addresses those categories specifically. Geographic restrictions apply to open banking availability, with unsupported regions governed by the Global Privacy Notice.

What this means for you

For an individual user, this document means that Visa's data practices are spread across multiple notices — including a Global Privacy Notice, a Cookie Notice, supplemental legally required notices, and product-specific notices — so understanding the full picture requires reviewing the notice applicable to each Visa product or platform you use. Visa's Global Privacy Program applies to all information Visa collects and uses. Users are instructed not to include sensitive information such as account numbers in emails. If you want to exercise a privacy right under applicable law, you can submit a request through Visa's designated Privacy Rights Portal.
