Prioritizing privacy and data protection

Trust is the foundation of our business, and protecting customer data is key to maintaining their confidence. We foster a data- and privacy-aware culture that emphasizes responsible data use through transparency, education, standards, and innovation.

Our Global Privacy Program, guided by our Data Management Principles and Privacy by Design practices, ensures compliance with evolving global privacy regulations while supporting future business growth.

Safeguarding customers

We always look to innovate the ways we protect our customers’ data. PayPal leads industry efforts to eliminate traditional passwords, reduce phishing attacks, combat emerging malware on mobile devices, and protect consumers and merchants.

We collaborate regularly with organizations to advance the security ecosystem and enhance customer protection. In 2024, we participated in the National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention, a multi-sector, private-public task force convened by the Aspen Institute’s Financial Security Program to develop a nation-wide strategy aimed at helping prevent fraud and scams.
