Automated decisions about fraud risk or credit can result in account limitations, payment blocks, or denial of services without human review, directly affecting your ability to access your money.
PayPal collects an exceptionally broad range of personal data — including biometrics, precise geolocation, inferred creditworthiness, and full financial histories — and shares it with partners, merchants, credit reporting agencies, data brokers, and members of the PayPal corporate group. Automated decision-making, including AI-driven risk and fraud assessments, can directly affect your account status, credit access, and transaction approvals without transparent human review. You can review and limit certain data uses by visiting your PayPal account privacy settings at paypal.com/us/myaccount/privacy.
