      My Data & Privacy section doesn’t have anything that seems relevant:

        Mine looks different, I’m in the US. I disabled the toggle under the Personalized Shopping. Under ‘Permissions you’ve given’ there was an entry for ‘PayPal shopping’ that I also disabled.

          Might just be US for now until they sort out the legality of it in more privacy focused countries.

        It looks like you’re missing the “Manage shared info” section and “Personalized Shopping” link, which yields the above toggle for me (CA, US)…

        The question is, is it gone because your privacy laws make it impossible to even offer, or because your privacy laws don’t require them to care about your opinion at all?

          Normally we are a small enough market that it takes a while to be worth sorting out whether they comply with our laws.

          One that comes to mind is that data can only be used for the purpose it’s collected, so I suspect adding this and opting people in would probably not be allowed. Grey area though, as it’s not clear to me (IANAL) whether updating TS & Cs and telling people would be enough to be considered getting user consent. I suspect not, though, I think it would need to be opt in so you’ve actively got user consent.

          So, most likely it’s because our privacy laws are a bit stronger than their threshold, but also possibly because a small country of 5 million people (where paypal isn’t that common) isn’t worth spending lawyers on to work out if they are allowed to.
