Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict how Bluesky uses it.

These rights are meaningful tools for users to manage their personal data, but they are qualified by the phrase 'depending on what laws apply,' meaning the rights available to you depend on your jurisdiction and may not be universally available to all Bluesky users.
Interpretive note: The practical scope of deletion rights is uncertain given the AT Protocol's decentralized architecture; the policy does not address the extent to which Bluesky can remove content from third-party network nodes.
Users in the EU, UK, California, Brazil, and other jurisdictions with privacy rights laws can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data from Bluesky by contacting privacy@bsky.app, though the practical scope of deletion rights may be limited by the decentralized AT Protocol architecture.
