PayPal updated their Privacy Statement on April 18, 2026, changing the document's listed update date to April 2, 2026 and replacing the contact details for their South Korean domestic agent from 'General Agent Co., Ltd.' to 'PayPal Korea Services LLC' with new address, phone, and email information. They also corrected a Nevada Attorney General email address format and added 'United States' to their footer navigation. These are primarily administrative and contact information updates that do not materially change how PayPal uses your personal data.
South Korean PayPal users now have updated and more direct contact details for PayPal's domestic privacy agent, which is their primary point of contact for exercising data rights under South Korean law. The change from a third-party agent to a PayPal entity may streamline privacy inquiries.
PayPal has updated the contact details for its South Korean domestic privacy agent, replacing a third-party company with PayPal Korea Services LLC, which may make it easier for South Korean users to reach the correct data protection contact. A Nevada Attorney General email address was also corrected to the proper government format. These changes are largely administrative and do not alter how PayPal collects, uses, or shares your personal data.
PayPal updated its Privacy Statement on April 18, 2026 with four modifications: the document date was updated to April 2, 2026; the South Korean domestic agent contact was changed from General Agent Co., Ltd. (rep: Eun-Mi Kim) to PayPal Korea Services LLC (rep: Mun Yat Wong) with a new Seoul address and contact details; a Nevada AG email was corrected; and 'United States' was added to footer navigation. This touches South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Network Act domestic agent requirements. No immediate action is required for most compliance teams, but organizations with South Korea-specific DPAs or vendor records referencing the old agent should update their documentation.
1. South Korea PIPA (Personal Information Protection Act) and the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (Network Act): These laws require foreign companies processing South Korean personal data to appoint a domestic agent. The change updates the registered domestic agent from General Agent Co., Ltd. to PayPal Korea Services LLC (representative: Mun Yat Wong), which is a direct compliance update under Articles 39-11 and 32 of PIPA and Article 32 of the Network Act.
