I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of these companies surreptitiously collecting my data and then monetizing it without my knowledge or consent. The fact that they disseminate it in clear text is proof they don't care about protecting it, if they did it would be encrypted at the very least. They say it anonymous but the suit says it's easy for the buyer to figure out who you are, not surprising. And if PayPal really cared about protecting you it wouldn't require you to use this. I manually linked a bank account specifically so I didn't have to accept this kind of monitoring of my financials and then when I went to actually use it afterwards they made me consent to using Yoodlee anyway to use friends and family. They say it's to protect from scams and payment denials but that's bull, Paypal is being paid by these guys I'm sure. I won't do it, I'll have to find another payment method. At the very least I'm done with PayPal for anything but goods and services.
