How PayPal Shares Your Data

Just skip this terrible usability nightmare and read the original list instead at [1]. FWIW, I used Ctrl+F to search around (for, in my case, my country name).<p>And the 100 dollar question: is this better or worse than an average bank from your_country? I have <i>no clue</i> about my own bank. Reading through this list, it seems I should <i>get a clue</i> about my own bank.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;ie&#x2F;webapps&#x2F;mpp&#x2F;ua&#x2F;third-parties-list" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;ie&#x2F;webapps&#x2F;mpp&#x2F;ua&#x2F;third-parties-list</a>

this is actually worse than the source. for whatever reason, the chart appears super zoomed out for me, so the text is tiny. but even if there wasn&#x27;t a font issue, the source is already clear as it is that a flowchart style diagram isn&#x27;t going to help.

Understanding privacy policies and terms of service has become a nightmare. I wish there was a standard privacy format, which companies could use to define and update their privacy policies. That way, it ll be easier for people to understand<p>1. What personal data is being used ?<p>2. What kind of data do websites store in your browser cookie ?<p>3. Which are the 3rd party tools &#x2F; services used to share data ?<p>4. Who are the 3rd parties, the data is being shared with.

This interface is incredibly hard for me to use. I&#x27;m having to do a lot of scrollbar fighting and I can&#x27;t figure out how to see the nodes beyond the edge of the frame.
