This option doesn't exist for me (MD, But I think I still have an AK address on file), strange as hell

It was toggled off for me in Oregon when I just checked

same.

Indiana here. Mine was defaulted to ON. Fixed that promptly.

Maybe PayPal is just super disorganized lol

NYC: Had to turn it off

Do you use Ecosia so you can avoid Google? Plant trees and keep info private!

Thank you!!! I have a US biz acct it is there. How to find. In app, upper left corner hit the 3 lines in circle, bottom of first screen is profile and support. Hit profile. Next screen hit data and privacy. Next manage shared info and personalized shopping next screen toggle off.

📌

Did it yesterday.

Thank you for this.

Thank you for the advice. I did it instantly.

Thanks for the heads up.

I can't see these options in mobile OR browser/desktop

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for that. Just checked and I don’t have that option. So either this doesn’t apply to Australia, or we don’t get a choice?

Luckily they banned me without reason so not my problem. (Still shitty situation) luckily with zelle it’s only account to account transactions.

Thank you for letting me know this!

I do not see Personalized Shopping on my end. If it was under Permissions Given, nothing there, if it was under internet-based marketing, all those are off.

Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you!

or you know, don't use PayPal

Thank you for this. I typically access PP on my laptop. Your instructions work only on the mobile app. Done!!

📌

Done. Thank you.

Better yet don’t use PayPal at all. Good advice though

Does this also apply to European accounts?

📌

They can't sell what they don't have. Peter Thiel would have better luck throwing himself off his own balcony than selling my transaction history.

Done. Thank you

Thx!

📌

Same. I tried on the app and on my phone’s browser. Maybe it matters that I have a type of business account? But I guess later I’ll look for it while using my computer.

📌

Canada has no "Personalized Shopping" option.

I shopped using PayPal. Zuckerberg has more than enough data

Thanks!!

Thank you

📌 PayPal

Thanks for the heads up.

I remember the outrage when some early versions of Windows (95? XP?) “phoned home” for activation and telemetry.

Thanks for the thought but nothing there. I have an iPhone 12 running on the latest operating system updated just a couple of weeks ago. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Ya gotta Be kidding me

Done- tyvm.

Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the tip!

Who tf is still using PayPal???

📌

So what do you do if you can't log in because security requires authentication via a phone number you longer have?

Thank you!

Done. Thank you!

Had to use the search engine in the "Help" section to even find "Data & Privacy" to turn the damn thing off. I'm sure seemingly hiding the feature from us was for our protection, or something.

Thanks

Thank you! Done.

Done! I can't thank you enough for the heads-up!

So, so, SO sick of this illegal bullshite. The race to the bottom in capitalism to scrape every penny out from every person and sell every scrap of data is so farcically disgusting.

Thanks for the warning! 😳

Done. Thank you.

Mine were already both off. Maybe I just did this without thinking ages ago.

Thank you for posting this! 📌

I got this notice on my business account but theres not option to turn it off? but I can turn it off on a personal account.

Turned it off!

Thanks for the timely tip

I did exactly that! Thanks for the heads up.

Deleted my PayPal after the election. I didn’t want any more money going to oligarchs.

Done. Thank you!

Thank you so much.

I think it's cause I have a business account, but I just..straight up do not have an option for this. Like..at all

Thank-you.

god i wish there was a an international payment thing that wasn't paypal, i'd kill to use literally anything else, all the other things are america only

the EU has a General Data Protection Regulation to prevent this sort of shenanigans.

This is assuming paypal doesn't just permanently limit your account because it feels like it.... 🤬

Pretty sure that's forbidden in EU But well that's Musk we're talking about he doesnt give a f*ck

This won’t affect business accounts right?

📌

Thanks

Banks. PayPal isn't one and never has been.

Credit Unions, not banks.

Hahahaha 😂 The joke is on PayPal, since I only use it to donate to fundraisers for the Ukrainian military 🫡

thanks!

I just deleted my whole account AFTER turning sharing off.

Thank you!

Looks like that page is blank in my account. Figures.

Or quit PayPal. Plenty of alternatives.

maybe because mine is a business account? it has a data and privacy section but nothing about shopping

Did that so likely prevent already. Paypal is a good thing but now this garbage says it isn't.

it's only there for personal accounts, btw. if you have a business account, either they don't have this "feature" or you can't turn it off.

Oh good, another reason to never use paypal

Done. May the GDPR come for them.

Thank you.

Thank You

That option isn't on my account (Netherlands). But I guess paypal feels like they aren't making enough money from the fees they force and the money they steal by closing peoples accounts for "breaking ToS" anymore...

I stopped using PayPal when I found out Peter Thiel owned it. I didn’t realize Musk was involved with it, too.

📌

Thank you! + @beth.bsky.social :)

I’m not seeing this in my business account (how I set it up originally)

📌

I can't seem to find 'Personalized Shopping' on mine

I refuse to use PayPal. Have done for years because of their intrusiveness in demanding all personal info to make a credit card purchase.

Thanks! Turned off!
