As a global payments technology company, Visa fulfills many roles. When we act on behalf of our Visa clients, we only collect, use, and share Personal Information as authorized by our contracts with our clients. If you have questions about how these companies handle your Personal Information, or wish to exercise your rights, please contact them directly. For example, if you have questions about your Visa card transactions, please contact the institution that issued your card for more information. Where Visa acts a controller under applicable laws and collects information directly from an individual, the controller is the Visa entity listed on the terms and conditions you sign when enrolling in a Visa service, product, or offer. Some Visa companies and services have different privacy notices that are provided when you use them. We also have supplemental privacy notices that provide additional information as required by law. You can learn more and exercise your privacy choices under relevant laws at our Privacy Rights Portal. ¹ Visa’s Affiliates are companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by Visa U.S.A. Inc. or its parent company Visa Inc. through ownership—for example, Visa International Service Association, Visa Worldwide Pte. Limited, Visa Canada Corporation, Visa International Servicios de Pago España, S.R.L.,Visa Europe Limited, Visa do Brasil Empreendimentos Ltda, CardinalCommerce Corporation, CyberSource Corporation, and Verifi, Inc.
