    To turn opt out of this (and you absolutely should), log into your PayPal account and then go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping.

    I have personal and business PayPal accounts, and don’t even see those privacy options in either one.

    Are these privacy concerns only seen in certain countries?

    Especially do it for 23andMe because they’re going out of business and will just be doing it to increase the sale price

          Given how much data they hold on a significant number of people, that’s mildly terrifying.

    I checked my PayPal account and the option for personalized shopping was unchecked. Maybe they changed the default opt-in behaviour?
