Stripe responded to my concerns about user tracking
I read the initial post when it was trending on HN, and had previously noticed that line in Stripe's Privacy Policy. I remember checking immediately afterward that my company was only loading Stripe's js on our billing page. I'm a skeptic by nature, so even after reading pc's response I still didn't feel great.<p>Then I got to reading this new post:<p>> Amid the discussion on Hacker News, a user expressed concern that, despite Stripe’s current good intentions, user data could fall into the wrong hands in the event that another company purchased Stripe ... Perhaps in direct response to that exchange, the new privacy policy includes this clause:<p>> > Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your Personal Data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.<p>This is fantastic. I've yet to see a requirement such as this in any Privacy Policy I've read. In fact, I hadn't even considered the possibility of such cleverness. This is now my new gold standard for the company sale terms of any <i>practical</i> privacy policy. I'm going to look into updating my company's privacy policy to reflect this language.
