Depending on where you’re based, you’ll find PayPal’s new data-sharing option under a different name. Remember, you may not see this at all if you’re based in a country that doesn’t allow it.

If you’re in the US, you should head to your profile Settings and tap on Data & privacy. Under Manage shared info, click on Personalized shopping. You should see the option enabled by default. Toggle off the button at the right to opt-out.

If you are in the UK like me, you’ll see something different after you head to your profile Settings and tap on Data & privacy.

Under Manage your privacy settings, here you’ll see an Interest-based marketing tab – click on it. At this point, two options will appear: Interest-based marketing on PayPal and Internet-based marketing on your accounts. You have to tap on each of these and toggle off the button at the right to opt-out. These instructions can also apply if you’re based in the EU.

    Thanks, disabled. If they want this kind of info then give users a reward for it like 1-2% cashback or coupons. This is just greedy.

      They can’t give a reward for a “oh shit we’re running out of hedge fund money, we need to stay solvent , let’s sell out our user’s data”

        They should have thought of that before hiring Will Ferrell to be a clown in a commercial for them.
