I wouldn't have a problem with that but the terms specifically mention surveys and special offers.

  Hmm, you're right. > We may place such calls or texts to ... (v) poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, (vii) contact you with offers and promotions; I'm pretty certain this same language is in my agreement with my bank, and with the VISA corporation. I rarely get calls from them (other than the occasional "hey was it you who made that e-transfer from your account just now") but I do get their spammy stuff via email. I think they prefer email as a channel for sending this stuff as long as they know your email, but will send it to your phone if they don't know it. I don't know how that would work with Paypal, who obviously knows your email. I'm pretty certain, on a second reading, that the original purpose of this is actually very clear, though: > We won’t share your phone number with third parties for their purposes without your consent, but may share your phone numbers with our Affiliates or with our service providers, such as billing or collections companies, who we have contracted with to assist us in pursuing our rights or performing our obligations under this User Agreement, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you. They want to be able to pursue people who have negative Paypal balances. Right now, a lot of them don't have a card attached to their account, or only have a prepaid card or something, so they have no idea who they are and can't really get their money back.
