Event Summary

PayPal updated its Privacy Statement on April 18, 2026, making four modifications and removing one sentence. The most substantive changes involve updates to PayPal's Korea contact information, replacing the previous domestic agent (General Agent Co., Ltd.) with PayPal Korea Services LLC and a new representative (Mun Yat Wong), along with updated office address and contact details. The last-updated date in the document header was also revised from November 17, 2025 to April 2, 2026, and a minor contact email address change was made for Nevada regulatory inquiries. These changes reflect administrative updates to PayPal's contact and representative structures for regulatory compliance purposes.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The updated Privacy Statement reflects administrative changes to PayPal's designated representative and contact information for Korea privacy inquiries. Previously, PayPal listed General Agent Co., Ltd. with a representative named Eun-Mi Kim; the revised statement now lists PayPal Korea Services LLC with representative Mun Yat Wong, and provides updated office address and contact details. These changes do not alter PayPal's data handling practices or consumer privacy rights, but establish new contact points for privacy-related inquiries from South Korea users.

Governance Analysis

The updated Privacy Statement now reflects PayPal's current designated representative and contact structure for South Korean regulatory compliance. These administrative updates ensure that users and regulators in South Korea have accurate contact information for privacy-related inquiries, maintaining compliance with Personal Information Protection Act and Network Act requirements.

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change updates administrative contact and representative information required for regulatory compliance in South Korea, where Personal Information Protection Act and Network Act designate mandatory domestic agent and Data Protection Office contacts. The change substitutes one service provider with another and updates associated contact details. No changes to data processing authority, retention, or rights are made. Organizations with PayPal in their vendor stack should verify that updated contact information is reflected in their records and data processing agreements if applicable, though this is a routine administrative update rather than a material privacy or processing change.

Regulatory Exposure

South Korea Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), Network Act. South Korea requires designated domestic agents and Data Protection Office contacts for foreign information processors.
