PayPal

Allegations that PayPal, through Venmo, shared private user financial data with third parties without consent.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against PayPal, doing business as Venmo, by users who allege that the platform shared private user data with third parties without consent. The plaintiffs claim that Venmo embedded tracking technologies that allowed companies to intercept and record users' financial transaction data, including names, emails, phone numbers, and transaction details. The lawsuit alleges violations of federal and state privacy laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act.

• Venmo users in the United States whose privacy settings were set to private or who enabled at least one private transaction.
• Users whose personally identifiable information was allegedly disclosed to or intercepted by third parties.
