Personal Details on Acknowledgement.

I have just opened an account to receive donations from individuals towards the running costs for our gaming Clan.

 

On doing a test transaction the acknowledgement the donator receives not only the name of the Clan, but my personal name and address. As this account will receive worldwide donations from individuals not personally known to us, I would prefer that this information is not displayed, the Clan name and the email being sufficient.

 

Can this information be removed from acknowledgements for privacy reasons?

 

Thank you

How do I change the name of my Business on my PayPal account?

 
To change the name of your business:

If you added a bank account before you change your business name, you should remove the bank account and add it again to ensure the names on your PayPal account and bank account are the same.

If you don’t use PayPal to conduct business, you can change your account to an account for personal use.

I think you have misunderstood my original question, I do not wish to change my business name, I just wish to remove my peronal details, my own name, not my business name and my personal address from appearing on the acknowlegement of payment that someone who donates recieve. 

 

At the moment., the buisness name appears on the reciept, but also at the bottom, my own name and private address, this is what I want to remove.

 

Thank you
