Just got an email from PayPal about changes to their privacy policy which now includes data sharing with 3rd parties, go turn it off in your account settings.

It's pretty crappy they're resorting to selling data, but I am not surprised, trying to monetize like everyone else -- but at least they DID give clear instruction how to opt out:

I do not see this under my Data & Privacy.

Hmmm, not sure, wonder if it's a region thing? Here's the body of the email:

This smells like a scam to me to access your account.

LOL no, but good your Spidey Senses tingled. I've been in IT for 40+ years, it's legit for sure.

That setting was exactly where the email indicated it would be, and the email did not solicit for credentials etc, rather directs you to your account settings. It's just a new monitizing avenue, unfortunately we've devolved from an opt-in society to that of opt-out. "We're enrolling you unless you say nope".

I looked for this as well, but couldn't find it.

I found it in my account, and it was enabled. Now disabled. Thanks for the heads up.
