Linking & Identification · Company practice

Guest transactions may be tied to a later account; Fastlane, Venmo and Honey activity may be combined

If you use the Services without a PayPal Account, PayPal says it may associate those transactions with your PayPal account if you later establish an account. If you use Fastlane, Venmo or PayPal Honey, PayPal may associate information about your transactions and experiences using those Services to personalize content and offers and improve your use of the PayPal Services. Venmo and PayPal Honey are listed elsewhere in this Statement as Excluded Services with their own privacy statements, so this passage describes PayPal combining information from them with other PayPal information.
