What it is

MetaMask can share your personal data with other Consensys-owned companies and with outside vendors that help run its services. These third parties are supposed to keep your data confidential, but the policy permits broad internal sharing across the Consensys corporate family.

This analysis describes what MetaMask'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Affiliate sharing means your data can move across multiple Consensys products and business lines without your specific consent for each transfer, potentially exposing your financial activity data to a wider set of internal systems and personnel than you might expect.

Interpretive note: The exact scope of affiliate entities and the specific data categories shared are not fully enumerated in the publicly available policy text, creating some uncertainty about the breadth of this provision in practice.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Personal data including wallet addresses and transaction metadata may be shared across all Consensys-affiliated entities, meaning data collected by MetaMask could inform activities at Infura, ConsenSys Mesh, and other group companies without additional notice.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Affiliate data sharing engages GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements; sharing within a corporate group does not automatically constitute a lawful basis under GDPR, and each transfer must be justified. CCPA/CPRA may treat affiliate sharing as a form of data sharing that triggers opt-out rights depending on whether the affiliate relationship qualifies as a common business purpose. The FTC Act may apply if affiliate sharing practices diverge from disclosed purposes. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Affiliate sharing is common in large technology groups, but MetaMask's user base includes individuals with strong privacy expectations around financial data. The breadth of the Consensys portfolio means this provision could authorize sharing across a wide range of products. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users have stronger protections against intra-group sharing without documented legal basis. California users may have rights under CPRA to limit sharing with affiliates for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. UK users face similar considerations under UK GDPR. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations deploying MetaMask in enterprise contexts should identify which Consensys affiliates may receive employee or customer data as a result of this provision and assess whether those transfers require separate contractual protections. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review whether intra-group data sharing agreements or binding corporate rules are in place to govern affiliate transfers, particularly for cross-border flows from the EU/EEA to US-based Consensys entities.
