What Jamie wrote
This article is for subscribers only but the headline and first paragraph are enough. LinkedIn has been on my naughty list for years for doing this kind of random opt-in to some new way to surveil your data or mine your activity. It seems PayPal decided that was far too great to not do too. I logged into my account and sure enough I have this Personalized Shopping feature defaulted to on. I've corrected that and reviewed the rest of my privacy settings.
It seems to be a best practice that once or twice a year you need to audit your privacy settings on these services.
