ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Automated decisions can affect your account status, the listings you see, prices offered to you, and whether your account is flagged or suspended, potentially without meaningful human review.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

eBay's privacy notice describes collection of a broad range of personal data including browsing behavior, purchase history, device identifiers, location data, and financial information, which is used for targeted advertising, platform personalization, and sharing with third-party advertising partners and affiliated companies. Sellers face additional data collection including government-issued identification documents and selfie photos for identity verification purposes. You can exercise data access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights by visiting eBay's Privacy Center at https://www.ebayinc.com/company/privacy-center/privacy-contact/ or adjusting your communication preferences in your eBay account settings.
