Hi Patrick, thanks for reading!

Glad to hear you're going to clarify that language in the ToS.

I'm interested to know if you're open to implementing mechanisms that limit what data Stripe collects within my app. I'm happy to help Stripe prevent chargebacks against my app, but I'd like to be in control of what parts of my app's data I hand over to help achieve that rather the current situation which basically grants the library carte blanche to vacuum up whatever data it wants.

Yep, certainly open to that. We'll address that in the page we put together about this.

This should be a case study in how to properly handle bad press. Of course, it helps when you’re Doing The Right Thing™ to begin with, as it limits your recovery to simple reassurance of the user base. Still, it appears this is being handled exceptionally well.

Would it make sense to update your blog post to include pc's response?
