PayPal removes its statement that optional features rely on explicit consent

✓ Machine-checked

The old policy said PayPal relies on explicit, voluntary consent for optional features such as contact syncing, biometric data, targeted advertising, email linking for package tracking and third-party connections. That sentence is removed and nothing replaces it in this diff. The diff does not show whether the practices themselves changed or whether consent is described elsewhere.
