If the revised version requires notice in accordance with applicable law, we will provide you with 30 days' prior notice by posting notice of the change on the Policy Updates or "Privacy Statement" page of our website, otherwise the revised Privacy Statement will be effective as of the published effective date.— Excerpt from PayPal's PayPal Privacy Statement
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CCPA/CPRA does not specify a minimum notice period for privacy policy changes but requires that policies accurately reflect current practices. GDPR Arts. 13–14 require that data subjects be informed of changes to processing purposes; significant changes require fresh notice or consent. GLBA Regulation P requires annual privacy notices and certain change notices. FTC Act Section 5 prohibits retroactive application of materially adverse privacy policy changes to previously collected data without consent (see FTC v. Facebook, Snapchat).
