Revolut Pay Checkout Privacy Notice

Last updated: 22 March 2024


1. Introduction

This privacy notice sets out how we will handle your personal data when you use Revolut Pay Checkout.

Revolut Pay Checkout is a fast checkout service we provide to customers which participating merchants can choose to make available on their websites. Before using Revolut Pay Checkout, you must first agree to our Terms and Conditions.

If you hold an account with us in the Revolut app, please refer to our Customer Privacy Notice for details about how we process your personal data when you use our other products and services.

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

We will:

  • always keep your personal data safe and private;
  • never sell your personal data; and
  • allow you to manage and exercise your data subject rights at any time.

If you have concerns about how we use your personal data, you can contact us at [email protected].


2. Who is responsible for processing my personal data?

If the merchant you make your first Revolut Pay Checkout purchase with is based in the United Kingdom, the Revolut company which will be responsible for your personal data is Revolut Ltd.

If the merchant you make your first Revolut Pay Checkout purchase with is based in the European Economic Area (EEA), the Revolut company which will be responsible for your personal data is Revolut Bank UAB.


3. What personal data do you collect about me?

If you sign up to use Revolut Pay Checkout and do not hold an account with us in the Revolut app, we will collect your:

  • name;
  • date of birth;
  • phone number;
  • email address;
  • shipping address;
  • preferred shipping method;
  • billing address; and
  • credit/debit card details (including card number, expiry date and CVV).

If you have an account with us in the Revolut app, we already have most of this information. However, we will still need to ask you to include your shipping address and preferred shipping method for specific purchases you make through Revolut Pay Checkout. You can also choose to add external (non-Revolut) cards to your Revolut Pay Checkout profile if you’d rather pay through another account. We will automatically add any card(s) you have used to top up your Revolut account to your Revolut Pay Checkout profile. However, you can delete this at any time by clicking on the bin icon displayed next to each payment method in your Revolut Pay Checkout profile if you don’t want your card saved in this way.

We will usually collect the personal data described above from you directly. However, we may also receive certain information from the relevant merchant. This will depend on how the relevant merchant has chosen to integrate Revolut Pay Checkout into their website.

We need to process the personal data set out above to provide you with the Revolut Pay Checkout service. If you do not provide us with this information, we will not be able to:

  • provide you with the service; or
  • process your purchase.

We may also process certain technical details regarding your device (including your device details, IP address, service provider, location, date and time, browser and language) if you ask us to remember your device to log you in to Revolut Pay Checkout automatically for any future purchases you wish to make using the service.


4. When we act as a “controller” and “processor”

We act as both a controller and a processor (acting on behalf of the relevant merchants who make Revolut Pay Checkout available on their websites) of your personal data when you use Revolut Pay Checkout. This privacy notice primarily sets out information we need to provide you when acting as a controller.

When you make a purchase using Revolut Pay Checkout on a merchant’s website, the merchant will also be a controller of your personal data. We advise you to review the merchant’s privacy notice for information about how they will handle your personal data.


5. How do you use my personal data?
