ivan Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Just got an email telling me that Paypal Europe (regulated by the UK FSA) changes to Paypal Luxembourg from July. Amongst the "benefits" they list is: the Privacy Policy will reflect that PayPal Luxembourg will be the data controller of your personal information from 2 July 2007 and set out further details of the third parties to whom PayPal Luxembourg will disclose your personal and account information. And: The transfer will enable us to market our service to online merchants across Europe and allow consumers to use PayPal in more places and ways across the web. So, Luxembourg laws allow them to sell our details on where UK laws don't then... Expect more Spam (or is that Yam?) Personally, if my details get passed out to anyone by Paypal I will just close my account! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Personally, if my details get passed out to anyone by Paypal I will just close my account! damn right. to be honest i've not been using it much anyway so it's basically just an accident waiting to happen with regards to fraud etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I regularly get emails from them saying someone is accessing my account from another country and if its not me then I should click the link and put my password etc in to stop it being cancelled.. What a joke, so I then mailed it to paypal who then sent me a letter back saying if paypal ever send mail it will ALWAYS have the persons full name thats registered to them as its only them who will have those details.

DaveK Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I got the same mail. Although I was more interested in why the refund they supposedly gave me on the 11th still isn't showing on my credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
