In short
What you accept
Everyday words for the material promises and rights you give up. Each line includes a quote from the document.
Fineprint cannot see whether you agreed. This page is posted on their site. Open the original if you need to know how they say it applies.
This page does not list what you accept.
What it can cost you
Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.
Highest-cost clauses first
“The Business Users you choose to do business with may further share your Personal Data with third parties (like additional third-party service providers other than Stripe).”
What that means: Your activity and identifiers can be used by companies you did not choose.
The document describes selling or commercially sharing personal data with third parties.
“You can separately consent to us using your biometric data to enhance our verification technology, with the option to revoke your consent at any time.”
What that means: Higher-risk details about you can be stored and shared under the same broad terms.
The company collects location or other sensitive categories of data.
“Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we request that they do not provide Personal Data to seek Services directly from Stripe.”
What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.
The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.
“Updates and notifications We may change this Policy from time to time to reflect new services or changes in our privacy practices or relevant laws.”
What that means: Rights you have today can shrink later without a clear opt-in.
The company can change the rules, often treating continued use as consent.
“We retain your Personal Data for as long as we continue to provide the Services to you or our Business Users, or for a period in which we reasonably foresee continuing to provide the Services.”
What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.
Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.
Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.
We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what Stripe asks.
