Personal Information leaked after transaction

[Tanto2]

Hello.

I have recently made a transaction to an individual regarding some Youtube copyright issues.

We agreed on a monetary value to license some content, and a payment was made to this individual via Paypal.

I have since learned this individual has released my personal information gained through this transaction to several hundred people, some

of which have contacted me directly stating some of my personal details.

I gave no consent or permission for this individual to release my personal details.

Is there any procedure that Paypal can recommend in order to deal with this situation/individual?

I fear for my family's safety now that this person has leaked all of my details such as name, address and phone number.

Hello @Tanto2, 

Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear your information has been shared publicly by someone. Normally we would recommend reaching out to the forum it was shared on (ie. Youtube, Facebook, etc) to inquire about having the information redacted or removed. Unfortunately, PayPal would not be able to step in on this matter. You may want to reach out to your local law enforcement and / or legal consultant to see what actions may be available next. 

Best wishes!
