Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Bluesky’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
High Parent guardian may request child data removal

This clause identifies a contact mechanism for parents or guardians concerned about unauthorized data uploads by a child, which is relevant to child privacy protections.

High EU/UK GDPR refusal to provide data may block access

Access to Bluesky App Services is conditioned on providing personal information where Bluesky determines that information is necessary to deliver the services.

High Right to deletion or right to be forgotten

This clause grants users a formal right to challenge or curtail Bluesky's processing of their personal information on multiple grounds, including consent withdrawal and noncompliance.

High Data transferred in merger or acquisition

This clause means your personal information can move to or be handled by other entities in a wide range of corporate transactions, without requiring your separate consent.
