We work with you to protect our customers’ personal data and honor their data privacy rights.
Everybody wins when we respect and protect our customers’ personal data.
We foster transparency, mitigate risks, and cultivate confidence when our customers understand what data is collected, as well as how and why their personal information is used.
We assure our customers that their personal information is handled with care and respect by adhering to high standards of data protection and management.
When our customers trust us with their data, we can elevate the shopping and checkout experience.
Data protection is one of our core values. It has always been our practice to protect our customers’ personal data—because it’s the right thing to do.
PayPal is an independent data controller for most of our products and services. That means we’re responsible for how our customers’ personal data is collected, processed, and handled.
As a merchant, you are an independent controller of the data you collect. You have a responsibility to be compliant with laws governing data protection and to meet the high standards we adhere to.
We responsibly manage and store data we collect from your business. Some of our security measures include:
We operate under strict requirements for the protection and secure handling of all confidential information, so your proprietary data is kept safe.
As a business owner, you have choices to manage your individual settings, marketing communications, and alerts.
Manage how people find your business on PayPal, update blocked contacts, and more in your privacy settings.
Manage when you receive alerts or marketing communications in your notifications settings.
Every business needs a reliable partner. From secure payment processing to helpful business insights, we’re here for you.
