The 600+ Companies PayPal Shares Your Data With
One of the effects of GDPR—the new EU General Data Protection Regulation—is that we’re all going to be learning a lot more about who collects our data and what they do with it. Consider PayPal, that just released a list of over 600 companies they share customer data with. Here’s a good visualization of that data.
Is 600 companies unusual? Is it more than average? Less? We’ll soon know.

Do we have more information on what “shares your data with” means? I assume that all six hundred institutions are not notified about every transaction by every customer, but some subset of relevant partners are given the described information. But I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
