I got a notification from the Google Pay app on my phone saying I spent the most money this month on 'Insurance' and I was very confused how or why it would even know that. After selecting the notification: google pay showed me a list of transacations for various amounts that it automatically labeled as 'Insurance'. I was very confused and after looking at the app's home page I found that PayPal shared every single one of my transacations, whether that was payments from friends/family to charges for services I used paypal for. I do not understand why PayPal believes it was okay to share this transacational history with a 3rd party that I did not approve to share this history with. I feel like this is a huge privacy and security breach that should never have happened. Now I'm beginning to wonder who else PayPal has shared every single one of my transacations with without telling me.
