Data Deletion
What personal data does Hypermarket store? Hypermarket Payments has partnered with Stripe for payment processing. The only personal data that Hypermarket collects from users is for onboarding and payment method creation securely through Stripe's systems.
The only pieces of personal information that Hypermarket itself stores are the first and last legal name of the user, and their email address.
Users can request their personal data be permanently deleted from the Hypermarket platform, and Stripe payments' platform (up to that which Stripe has to retain for business and tax reporting purposes) by sending an email to support@hypermarket.xyz, and requesting a full deletion.
Children's Information
We do not knowingly or intentionally gather information from or about children. If we have inadvertently collected the information of a child, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us at support@hypermarket.xyz to request that we delete the information from our records or otherwise cease the use of that information.
