Personal data is shared across the eBay corporate family, but the clause imposes a minimum privacy standard on Affiliates that mirrors eBay's own practices.
Interpretive note: The excerpt refers to 'aforementioned purposes' without specifying them in the quoted text. The clause name references fraud and marketing, but those purposes are not established by the quoted language alone. The canonical claim therefore refers only to 'the same purposes described in the notice' without naming them.
eBay's updated privacy notice now provides more structured and detailed information about what personal data it collects, why it processes that data, and how it handles cross-border transfers. The addition of explicit data protection officer contact information and a clear table of contents makes the privacy framework more accessible and transparent. You can review the new notice to understand what data categories eBay collects and contact the designated data protection officer with privacy concerns.
