PayPal removes bullet about sharing data with buyers in business transfers

The old policy listed sharing your personal data with a buyer if PayPal sells business or assets. That bullet has been removed in the new version, and nothing was added in its place. The diff does not show whether such sharing is now prohibited or covered elsewhere.

Won back

  • Explicit business-sale data-sharing disclosure no longer listed (though practice may be unchanged or covered elsewhere)
