PayPal updated its Privacy Statement on May 11, 2026 by adding a detailed table of contents to the document. The previous version included only the opening overview section, while the updated version now displays a comprehensive menu listing 24 distinct privacy policy sections, including new sections on non-account holders, AI and automated decision-making, regional disclosures for the UK, EEA, Mexico, and Singapore, and CCPA-specific rights. This organizational change makes the policy's full scope and available sections visible at the document's beginning, though the substantive privacy terms remain substantively unchanged in this particular update.
