When managing your inspection business, it’s important to stay on top of data privacy and security, including handling customer data within Stripe. If you ever need to delete customer data from Stripe due to your customer requesting it, the process is straightforward.
This article will guide you through the steps to securely delete customer data from Stripe, ensuring you maintain compliance with data protection regulations and best practices for managing sensitive information.
Deleting Customer Data
First, contact your client and inform them that they need to email privacy@stripe.com to initiate the data deletion process.
*This is necessary to authenticate their request.*
Once the customer has contacted Stripe, the privacy team will handle the deletion process per legal obligations and retention requirements.
It's important to note that Stripe may need to retain certain personal data to comply with legal obligations, such as anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws. The exact data retained and the duration of retention will depend on these legal requirements.
As the business owner, you cannot directly delete the customer's information from Stripe's database. The request must come from the customer themselves for privacy and security reasons.
