This provision establishes that users in covered jurisdictions are subject to region-specific privacy terms that may grant rights or impose obligations beyond the Global Privacy Notice, requiring users and compliance teams to consult the applicable regional notice to understand the full scope of their rights.
Interpretive note: The specific rights, obligations, and data processing terms applicable in each jurisdiction are not contained in this document and require review of each linked regional notice.
Under this provision, users in the listed jurisdictions have access to supplemental privacy disclosures tailored to local legal requirements, which may include rights not available under the Global Privacy Notice alone, such as data subject access, portability, or erasure rights specific to their region.

"The following supplemental and additional privacy notices provide added information as required by law: Candidate Privacy Notice For Argentina (Spanish) For Australia (English) For Brazil (Portuguese) For Canada (English) For China Mainland (Simplified Chinese) For Colombia (Spanish) For European Economic Area (EEA)/Switzerland/UK (English) For Japan (Japanese) For New Zealand (English) For South Korea (Korean) For Taiwan (Traditional Chinese) For Turkey (Turkish)Excerpt from Visa's Privacy Notice
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Each regional notice engages a distinct legal framework: GDPR and UK GDPR for EEA/Switzerland/UK, LGPD for Brazil, PIPEDA and provincial laws for Canada, PIPL for China Mainland, Act on the Protection of Personal Information for Japan, Personal Information Protection Act for South Korea, PDPA-equivalent frameworks for Taiwan and Turkey, and national data protection laws for Argentina, Colombia, Australia, and New Zealand. The relevant supervisory authority varies by jurisdiction. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for multinational operations. Maintaining regulatory compliance across twelve or more regional frameworks requires coordinated notice management, localized consent mechanisms, and jurisdiction-specific data subject rights fulfillment procedures. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA, UK, Brazil, China Mainland, and South Korea create the highest regulatory exposure due to active enforcement environments and prescriptive notice requirements. California is addressed separately under the U.S. State Privacy Rights notice. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B partners processing Visa cardholder data in any of these jurisdictions should confirm that applicable data processing agreements reference the correct regional notice and that cross-border transfer mechanisms are documented for each relevant jurisdiction pair. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should establish a review calendar to monitor for updates to each regional notice and assess whether changes trigger re-consent or updated data processing agreement obligations in any covered jurisdiction.
