Title: PayPal to share personal data with third parties starting next summer
Post by: Redaktion on October 03, 2024, 21:55:35
Starting in mid-2025, PayPal will share personal data with third parties due to a new feature, named Personalized Shopping. Thankfully, those not interested in it can opt out, although the problem is the fact that PayPal chose to enable this by default. However, there is plenty of time for them to change this.

Checked by default is possibly illegal by GDPR.

Most likely, yes. But probably not if people accept new/updated TOS without reading anything at all of what's inside.

Reviewed my settings, just in case.
I was sharing more than I'd like to, so... Fixed!
