Visa discloses to third parties only under its own privacy and security policy

Visa says it discloses sensitive personal information to third parties only in accordance with its established privacy and security policy. That policy is not part of this statement, so this document does not show what it allows or forbids. The next list item adds a narrower statement about who may receive the information.

Visa discloses to service providers, auditors, advisors and successors who must protect it

Visa says one of the two situations in which it will disclose sensitive personal information is disclosure to service providers, auditors, advisors and/or successors in interest. These recipients must be legally or contractually obligated to protect the information. The statement does not name them, describe the protection they owe, or explain when a successor in interest would receive the information.

Visa discloses sensitive personal information when the law requires or permits it

Visa says the other situation in which it will disclose sensitive personal information is where disclosure is required or permitted by law. Because law may permit disclosures as well as require them, this route can be broader than a legal duty. The sentence does not say whether recipients under this route must also be obligated to protect the information, or which laws apply.
