    I’m unable to turn off this setting right now. Getting an error reported. I’m sure this is totally unrelated to people finding out about it and turning it off.

    I fully expect PayPal to harvest and share the United States data anyway - regardless if you opt out - and they’ll get a slap on the wrist 5 years later when someone finds out about it.

    Is there any reason to use PayPal vs a bank card, or a credit card, or Venmo or any other payment option?

      I will use PayPal when making purchases, mostly to keep from giving my payment information directly to yet another company that could handle it improperly.

      Not to say that PayPal wouldn’t misuse the information too, but it’s one company that might misuse my information vs many companies, so I’ll go with the one.

    Note that there are two similar options: “PayPal shopping” and “Personalized shopping”. The post mentions this but they’re similar enough that I kind of glossed over it and almost missed the Personalized one.

    Thanks for this!

    I’m in the US so I had the personalized shopping setting, but with how the initial message is written saying the US won’t have the settings I’m not sure if I’m missing something or not.
