PayPal revised its Privacy Statement to clarify data collection and sharing practices related to new payment services. The updated terms now explicitly state that PayPal will use information from third-party wallets, payment networks, and processors to handle PayPal World transactions, and added language indicating that in some cases PayPal may not be permitted to disclose such third-party data sharing. The policy also narrowed certain affiliate data-sharing restrictions: it changed from sharing affiliate creditworthiness information and marketing permissions with a 'Yes' disclosure to 'No We don't share' for both affiliate creditworthiness and affiliate marketing, while maintaining existing sharing for non-affiliate marketing purposes.
Consumers: PayPal will no longer share your creditworthiness data with its affiliates or allow them to market to you based on your account information.
The updated terms clarify that PayPal will use information from third-party wallets, payment networks, and processors to process PayPal World transactions, and note that PayPal may not always be permitted to disclose details of such third-party sharing. The policy also narrows the scope of affiliate data sharing: PayPal will no longer share affiliate creditworthiness information or permit affiliates to market to you, though the terms continue to permit non-affiliate marketing. These changes primarily affect users of PayPal's newer payment services and do not materially alter the core data collection or retention practices disclosed in the prior version.
