PayPal
PayPal is a legitimate, well-established financial app with strong encryption and fraud protection, but it collects substantial data across 13 verified trackers (analytics, advertising, attribution, and payment processors) and requests 6 dangerous permissions including location, contacts, camera, and microphone. While these permissions may support features like in-store payments and identity verification, the combination of broad data collection and third-party ad networks elevates privacy risk to MEDIUM despite PayPal's reputation.
