PayPal removed the table of contents from the top of its Privacy Statement and restructured the document layout on May 5, 2026. The navigation menu that previously listed all sections (such as 'Non-Account Holders Notice', 'Categories of Personal Information We Collect', 'CCPA Privacy Rights', and others) is no longer visible at the beginning of the document. The substantive privacy disclosures and rights descriptions remain unchanged; only the organizational presentation and initial navigation structure were modified.

What this means for you

This change is a structural reorganization of PayPal's Privacy Statement and does not modify any substantive privacy rights, data practices, or consumer protections. The table of contents navigation that previously appeared at the beginning of the document has been removed, and the document layout has been restructured. All privacy disclosures, data collection practices, rights descriptions, and regulatory notices remain as previously stated. Consumers have the same privacy rights and obligations under the updated terms as under the prior version.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
