Amendments to the PayPal Privacy Statement
Effective: November 17, 2025

• We're updating our Privacy Statement in anticipation of a new feature that will make it easy for Venmo and PayPal customers to find and pay each other using their contact information, such as their phone number. If a Venmo customer finds you by the contact information linked to your PayPal account, they will be able to see your PayPal personal profile, including your name, username, profile photo, and country. If you’d like to be searchable in this way, no action is needed. If not, you can manage your preferences in your Account Settings.
• Additionally, we’re making other updates to our Privacy Statement to improve clarity and consistency. The new version features a streamlined global structure with additional market-specific sections, as applicable, and it includes information about how we handle personal data within the Hyperwallet services.
• We have also made updates to the California, North Dakota, and Vermont Supplemental Financial Privacy Notice to include additional disclosures for affiliate sharing and non-affiliate sharing.
