Probably because they can't legally hold the data of a minor (who wasn't able to consent to their data policy or whatever at the time) so they have to delete everything.
- driverdan 7y agoNope. The account isn't deleted, it's locked. And if they did need to delete the data they could easily delete everything from when they were under age.
- parliament32 7y agoEh, kinda. If they entered their name/address/phone when they were underage, it's still data collected from a minor (even if it hasn't changed). To cleanup PayPal would have to have them re-enter everything... which is basically the same thing as creating a new account. I'm not saying they're right, but I can see why this is the easiest way for them to fix the legal situation.
- stordoff 7y agoRaises a question - if they've deleted _everything_, how would they know they are banned? Surely just keeping email address + "banned" (especially for a specific reason) is storing their data.
