Thanks for the reminder. I fixed these all already apparently, but didn’t remember setting PayPal shopping privacy.
I knew that 23andMe would eventually breaker to that. Told people not to do it. Oh, well.
I opted out of LinkedIn and PayPal, but I wish I didn’t have to use them. Plus I do not fully trust them to respect the option, too.
