            Bug ID: 512978
           Summary: Would like to donate but the requirements are too
                    strict.
    Classification: Websites
           Product: www.kde.org
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY

I would really like to donate via debit card but the payment processor settings
on your site are way too strict. Apart from my credit card details they insist
on getting my email address, my phone number and my home address. Insult to
injury: although the request comes from an EU IP address there's a complete
disregard for GDPR issues. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Follow the Plasma pop-up link for donation
https://kde.org/donate/?app=plasma-donation-request-notification
2. Click on "Donate" from the "One-time donations" panel
3. On "Donate to K Desktop Environment e.V. " Paypal page click on "Donate with
Debit or Credit Card"
4. In the next page fill in "Write a note (Optional)" "Card number" "Expires"
"Security code" "Given name" "Last name" 
5. Click "Agree & Donate Now"

OBSERVED RESULT

Paypal processor page insists (by changing border colors) that  

Address line 1
Mailing address is required.

City
City is required.

Phone number
Phone number is required.

Email
Email is required.

EXPECTED RESULT

Payment processor should have allowed me to pay the same way I pay other goods
which is without making other than necessary fields a requirement. 

Payment processor should have enabled a form where I should have been able to
chose how my personal data is processed. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  -
KDE Plasma Version:  -
KDE Frameworks Version:  -
Qt Version:  -

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is surprising since KDE has an impeccable history when it comes to respect
for privacy.
