Key Governance Provisions
High User posts are public and collected

Because posts are both collected by Bluesky and public, they are available to Bluesky and to anyone else, with no expectation of privacy.

High Third-party age or identity verification data collected

The use of third-party verification services means user data may be shared with external parties as part of a legally triggered age-check process.

High Security safeguards implemented but not guaranteed

The explicit disclaimer of guarantees means Bluesky accepts no absolute security obligation, limiting users' ability to rely on the platform's safeguards as a guarantee of data protection.

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 Refusal to provide data may block access

Declining to share Personal Data may result in partial or total loss of access to Bluesky, giving users a limited ability to withhold data without consequences to their access.
