Adds a demographic information hash to the Persons API
What’s new
Introduces the us_cfpb_data hash in the Persons API, which contains two sub-hashes, ethnicity_details and race_details, and a free text field for the person’s self-identified gender. Each sub-hash includes fields, allowing for multiple enum values and free text input to describe the person’s ethnicity or race.
This change complies with Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires providers of small business financing in the US to collect demographic information about applicants. Stripe’s financial partners report this information to the the related setting, which analyses potential disparities in business financing. The information shared with the the related setting is anonymised to protect the identity of applicants.
