How does PayPal safeguard your personal information?
PayPal automatically encrypts your personal information in transit from your computer to our server using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits. Before you register or log in to our website, our server checks that you're using an approved browser-one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is heavily protected. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards on your information.
Only authorized employees are permitted to access customer information. Authorized employees have been trained on how to handle information properly and are subject to strict limitations and guidelines in the handling of that information. Only a small subset of authorized employees is permitted to access customer credit card or bank account numbers.
What personal information do we collect?
Information we receive from you.
When you open a PayPal account, we require certain information, such as your name, address, phone number, and email address.
When you send, receive or request a payment through PayPal, we collect transaction information needed to perform the service, which may include your credit card, debit card, or banking information.
When you sign up for optional features or products, we collect information needed to provide the service or to establish that you qualify for such features or products. For example, if you enroll in the PayPal Money Market Fund, we are required by law to collect your Social Security number (SSN) and date of birth.
When we cannot verify the information you provide online, we may ask you to send us additional information, such as your driver's license or a recent utility bill, or to confirm your location through an automated phone-back process. This verification process is necessary in order to safeguard your account and other customers against potential fraud.
When you sign up for a Business or Premier account or if you send or receive high overall payment volumes through PayPal, we request supplemental information about your business, such as the type of goods you sell and your customer service contact information.
Information about you from third parties.
When you add a credit card or debit card, we use card authorization and fraud screening services to verify the information you provide.
If you receive high overall payment volumes through PayPal, we may do a background check or obtain information about you from a credit bureau or a business information service such as Dun & Bradstreet.
We may receive personal information about you from our subsidiaries and affiliated companies to provide integrated customer support, to facilitate a payment transaction or to investigate potential fraud, illegal activity or violations of the PayPal User Agreement.
To what parties do we disclose personal information?
Other PayPal members. Your name, email address, date of signup, the number of payments you have received from Verified PayPal Customers and your Verification status are available to other members that you send money to or receive money from. If you are buying goods or services, you may choose to reveal your shipping address to complete the transaction. If we conduct an investigation and conclude that one side has engaged in fraud or deceptive practices, we may disclose contact information to victims who request it. As always, we never reveal your financial information to other PayPal members, unless required to do so by law.
Card authorization and fraud screening services. If you add a credit card or a debit card to your PayPal account, we will use these services to verify that your card information and address match the information that you supplied to us and that the card has not been reported lost or stolen.
Other eBay corporate entities.We may disclose personal information to other eBay corporate entities to process payments and provide integrated customer support related to eBay transactions, as well as to investigate potential fraud, illegal activities or violation of the PayPal User Agreement.
Companies with whom we jointly offer products. If you sign up for a co-branded version of PayPal, we will share your information to provide enhanced integration between PayPal's and the other company's services, subject to the applicable terms of service and privacy policies for such co-branded service.
We may provide personal information to companies that offer co-marketed or "private label" products and services with us. For example, we disclose information to GE Money Bank, the issuer of PayPal Plus credit cards, to determine customers' eligibility for the PayPal Plus credit card.
Agencies or authorities with whom we are legally required to cooperate. We may disclose information during the investigation of fraud or illegal activity. For example, we may disclose personal information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, or comparable legal process.
