Monitor Stripe compliance pages

Online payment processing platform — card acceptance, subscriptions, marketplaces, fraud detection, and global payment methods for internet businesses.

Stripe publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Stripe as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
