The collection of viewing behavior — not just what you post, but what you read — creates a detailed profile of your interests and opinions that goes beyond what most users would expect from a social media platform.
Bluesky collects a broad range of personal data including IP addresses, device identifiers, in-app browsing behavior, and direct messages that are explicitly described as unencrypted and accessible for internal Trust and Safety purposes. Public activity including posts, likes, follows, and blocks is distributed across the AT Protocol decentralized network, meaning third-party servers outside Bluesky's direct control may host copies of that content, which has practical implications for deletion requests. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by emailing privacy@bsky.app.
