PayPal updated its Privacy Statement on May 23, 2026 to reflect changes in its corporate structure. The previous version listed PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. as the responsible entity for Switzerland with a Luxembourg address. The updated version removes this Swiss entity reference and instead lists PayPal Pte. Ltd. with a Singapore address as the point of contact for both Switzerland and Taiwan privacy queries. This change affects which legal entity processes privacy requests and determines data controller responsibility in those regions.

What this means for you

The updated Privacy Statement changes which PayPal legal entity processes privacy requests for users in Switzerland and Taiwan. Previously, Switzerland-based privacy inquiries were directed to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. in Luxembourg; this entity is now removed from the statement. Both regions now route inquiries to PayPal Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. The substantive privacy rights and protections available to users in these regions remain governed by applicable local law, but the administrative contact point and responsible entity have changed.
