I just received an email from PayPal, notifying me of "policy updates".
One of the updates is interesting: if I've added a phone number to my profile, I've also given them consent to call me using auto-dialers and pre-recorded messages, SMS and text.
I assume anyone here with a PayPal account has received the same notice. Here's the paragraph itself; toward the end, note how the number can be shared:
<span style="font-style: italic">"By providing PayPal a telephone number (including a mobile telephone number), you agree to receive autodialed and prerecorded message calls at that number. The ways in which you provide us a telephone number include, but are not limited to, providing a telephone number at Account opening, adding a telephone number to your Account at a later time, providing it to one of our employees, or by contacting us from that phone number.
"If a telephone number provided to us is a mobile telephone number, you consent to receive SMS or text messages at that number. We won’t share your phone number with non-affiliated third parties for their purposes without your consent, but may share your phone numbers with our Family of Companies or with our service providers, such as billing or collections companies, who may contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls or text messages. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply if we contact you.
“Family of Companies” is defined as companies that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of PayPal, Inc. or eBay Inc. or are otherwise related to PayPal through common ownership or control."</span>
Yippee!
