Research guide
Stripe privacy disclosures
Stripe can process payment credentials, identity, transaction, device, and fraud information while the merchant keeps order, customer, tax, and payment-status records.
Do not claim card storage inaccurately
When Stripe-hosted Checkout collects the card, the merchant generally should state that Stripe handles full card details rather than implying they are stored in its database.
Disclose operational records
Checkout Session, customer, payment, subscription, refund, dispute, amount, currency, billing email, and tax metadata can remain necessary for service and legal purposes.
Explain independent processing
Stripe publishes its own privacy terms and may process information for security, fraud, compliance, and service operation under roles determined by context.
