Nor I, on my in-Canada account. Desktop access only; I don't have the Paypal app installed on my phone.

The article's image shows, under Manage your privacy settings, the options:

  • Permissions you've given

  • Interest-based marketing (which is the option pertinent to this issue)

    • Interest-based marketing on PayPal
    • Interest-based marketing in your other accounts

  • Blocked contacts

    But my account's options are:

  • Permissions you've given

  • Manage your cookies

    • Marketing
    • Performance
    • Functional
    • Essential

  • Blocked contacts

Possibly the Marketing checkbox is the Canadian version of this? I've got that checkbox turned off.
