What it is

Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask MetaMask to show you, correct, delete, or give you a copy of your personal data. The ability to exercise these rights depends on your jurisdiction.

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)

For users in the EU, UK, and California, these rights are legally backed by GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA respectively; however, the policy's conditional framing means users outside these jurisdictions may have fewer enforceable rights against Consensys.

Interpretive note: The operational completeness of rights fulfillment, particularly whether deletion requests extend to Infura-held data, cannot be confirmed from the policy text alone and depends on internal implementation.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

EU, UK, and California residents have legally enforceable rights to access and delete their MetaMask-related personal data; users in other jurisdictions should review the policy to assess what rights are available to them, as the policy's rights grant is jurisdiction-dependent rather than universal.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Send an email to Consensys's privacy team specifying your name, the data you want deleted or accessed, and the jurisdiction you are in (e.g. EU, UK, California). Include your wallet address if you want Infura-held data to be addressed in the same request.
  • Export Your Data
    Email Consensys's privacy team to request a copy of your personal data, specifying that you want data held by both MetaMask and Infura included in the response.

— Excerpt from MetaMask's MetaMask Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Articles 15-22 establish the specific rights referenced (access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection, restriction). CCPA Section 1798.100 and CPRA amendments establish parallel rights for California residents. The UK GDPR mirrors GDPR rights for UK users. Supervisory authorities including the Irish Data Protection Commission and the UK ICO have enforcement jurisdiction over rights request compliance. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Operational implementation of rights requests is a common area of regulatory scrutiny. Given that user data is distributed across MetaMask and Infura systems, ensuring that deletion requests cascade to Infura's infrastructure may require specific operational procedures. Response time compliance (30 days under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA) is a measurable enforcement exposure. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have the most robust rights and the strongest enforcement mechanisms. California residents have CPRA-enhanced rights including the right to correct. Users in other US states with emerging privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Texas) may also have applicable rights depending on their residency and the date of the policy. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using MetaMask for employees or customers should assess whether they have contractual rights to require Consensys to honor rights requests on behalf of their data subjects, and whether MetaMask's rights fulfillment capabilities meet their own data processor obligations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should audit the rights request intake and fulfillment process, confirm that requests trigger data deletion at both MetaMask and Infura levels, and ensure response time SLAs are documented and met. The policy's contact mechanism for rights requests should be tested for operability.
