When you upload any content to Fiverr, you give Fiverr a permanent, irrevocable right to use that content for its business purposes, even after you close your account.
This analysis describes what Fiverr's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Because this license is perpetual and irrevocable, sellers and buyers who upload portfolios, deliverables, or creative work cannot effectively revoke Fiverr's right to use that content after the fact, including after account closure.
Interpretive note: The practical scope of the license may be limited by GDPR erasure rights for EU users and by applicable copyright law, but the document does not include explicit carve-outs for these scenarios.
Any content you upload to Fiverr, including portfolio samples, gig images, and delivered work, may be used by Fiverr indefinitely, even if you later delete your account. Users who create original creative works and upload them to the platform should consider this before sharing proprietary or sensitive materials.

"By posting or uploading any Content to the Platform, you grant Fiverr a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content in connection with the Service and Fiverr's (and its successors' and affiliates') business.— Excerpt from Fiverr's Fiverr Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Articles 6 and 17 for EU/EEA users, particularly the right to erasure and the requirement for a lawful basis for processing. A perpetual, irrevocable license asserted over user-uploaded content may create tension with GDPR erasure rights if the content contains personal data, and the FTC Act's unfair or deceptive practices standards are implicated if the scope of this license is not clearly disclosed at point of upload for US users. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. A perpetual and irrevocable license that survives account termination creates material compliance exposure under GDPR for EU users who subsequently exercise deletion rights. The interaction between the intellectual property license (governed by Israeli law) and GDPR deletion obligations is a genuine point of legal tension that may require jurisdiction-specific carve-outs or policy clarification. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users face the highest exposure given GDPR Article 17 erasure rights. UK users are similarly affected under UK GDPR. California residents may have additional rights under CCPA regarding personal information embedded in uploaded content. The enforceability of a perpetual irrevocable license against EU consumers may be limited by mandatory consumer protection provisions that cannot be contracted away. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business accounts and enterprise buyers who upload proprietary assets, briefs, or branded materials as part of service orders should assess whether this license creates unintended IP exposure. The sublicensable and transferable nature of the license means Fiverr could pass usage rights to affiliates or successors without additional user consent, which procurement teams should flag in vendor risk assessments. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit consent mechanisms at point of content upload to ensure users are clearly informed of the perpetual and irrevocable nature of the license. A data mapping exercise is advisable to determine whether uploaded content constitutes personal data under GDPR, and if so, whether the license assertion is compatible with erasure requests. Policy documentation should be reviewed to determine whether a GDPR-specific carve-out or limitation is needed for EU users.
