Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document explains how eBay collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use its platform. Nearly every interaction generates data collection, and if you sell on eBay, eBay also collects sensitive information such as biometric data, government ID, and bank account details. You can withdraw your consent to data processing at any time where eBay relies on consent, and you can object to eBay using your data for direct marketing and related profiling.
The eBay Privacy Notice establishes the conditions under which eBay collects, uses, shares, and retains users' personal data across its services. Collection is triggered by virtually any interaction with the platform, with sellers subject to substantially expanded collection including biometric data, government-issued ID, tax identifiers, and financial account details. The notice permits eBay to use personal data to train and validate its own AI models and third-party AI systems, while restricting consequential automated decision-making to three defined bases: contractual necessity, user consent, or applicable law. Users hold rights to withdraw consent where consent is the processing basis and to object to direct marketing and related profiling; data deletion is subject to broad legal retention carve-outs. eBay shares data with corporate affiliates under a minimum-standards obligation and discloses data to law enforcement and governmental bodies specifically in connection with its EU payment services for sellers.
As an eBay user, your personal data is collected across nearly all platform interactions, including account management, web forms, and community participation. Your data may be used to train eBay's own AI systems and third-party AI systems. eBay may make automated decisions that significantly affect you only when required by contract, consent, or law. If eBay relies on your consent as the basis for processing, you can withdraw that consent at any time, which stops further processing on that basis. You can also object at any time to eBay processing your personal data for direct marketing, including profiling tied to that marketing. Sellers face a broader data footprint, including collection and processing of biometric data for identity verification and fraud prevention.
