#PSA #PayPal is changing their privacy statement/terms of service starting November so that they can sell your information to merchants.

You CAN opt out, but you have to do it before they start:

Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

ETA: this is probably country specific, due to differing privacy laws.

You can try privacy>settings>recommendations

Check replies, people have found the same toggle under a different header.

@herhandsmyhands @megmac Data & Privacy -> PayPal Shopping-> Personalized Shopping. Does PayPal have different settings hierarchy across countries?

@sunil it probably does, as privacy laws are different

@herhandsmyhands @sunil @megmac I guess it does as I can’t see any of these menus that everyone is talking about. They’re probably going to sell all my data without any push-back from our authorities … (The Privacy link just shows the privacy statement.)

@jackyan

I see a PRIVACY heading, maybe there?

@jackyan

I wonder if it's under profile settings? poke around for something "data" related?

@herhandsmyhands Thank you, I did, but nothing there … I wonder if itʼs worth writing to their privacy officer and formally requesting the opt-out. Their site is a mess, the menus seem to change on a regular basis and I often spend more time looking for where theyʼve shifted something to than doing the thing.
