When you make an online donation via paypal, what personal information does the recipient see?
Your address? phone number? name? credit card number? Can you hide any of that?

When making a payment through PayPal, be sure to click the option "there is no shipping required," otherwise I believe they will see the home address you supplied in your profile..

You can choose to hide your shipping address but this is not the default.
They never see your credit card info. Neither is the payor's phone number revealed
They get your name and e-mail address.

How private are PayPal transactions?
PayPal is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. When you send or request money using PayPal, the recipient never learns your bank account numbers or credit card numbers. He only sees your email address, date of sign-up, and whether you have completed PayPal's verification process. Please review our Privacy Policy for further information.
OTOH, I don't know if that's really true. I can see the names of people I send money to, so the opposite might be true as well.
