If I delete my paypal account, will others I´ve sent money be able to see my personal information?

Some time ago I sent money to a specific person but now this person intends to make bad use of my personal information. My question is: if I delete my paypal account will they be able to see my info? 

Thanks

Hi there Zephyru14863.

Welcome to the Community!

Thanks for reaching out to us in regards to this.

To answer your question, no your information will not be removed from a payment that you have sent to another PayPal user if you delete your account. When a person sends a payment on PayPal to another PayPal account holder, a delivery address may be supplied if the payment is being send as a goods/service payment. This information will never be removed from the transaction history as PayPal are required to keep this information on file even after a PayPal account has been closed.

I hope this helps to clarify your question.
David.
