Summary

OpenSea's privacy policy establishes procedures for collection, use, and sharing of personal information including crypto wallet addresses, email, IP address, browsing behavior, and purchase history. The policy specifies that NFT transaction data recorded on public blockchains remains permanently public and is not subject to deletion upon account closure or data erasure requests. California residents and EU/UK users may submit data access, correction, or deletion requests to privacy@opensea.io.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is OpenSea's Privacy Policy, governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by Ozone Networks, Inc. (d/b/a OpenSea) in connection with its NFT marketplace and related services, with legal basis grounded in user consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate interests depending on jurisdiction. The policy states that OpenSea collects identifiers such as wallet addresses, email addresses, IP addresses, device information, and transaction data, and the terms authorize use of this information for service operation, marketing communications, analytics, fraud prevention, and sharing with third-party service providers, business partners, and affiliates. The policy's treatment of blockchain wallet addresses as personal data is operationally distinct in that on-chain transaction data is publicly visible and immutable regardless of any opt-out or deletion request OpenSea can fulfill, a nuance the policy acknowledges but which creates a practical gap between stated user rights and real-world data control. The policy engages GDPR for EEA and UK users, CCPA for California residents, and general FTC Act consumer protection standards applicable to US users broadly; EU and UK users are noted to have specific rights including access, rectification, erasure, and objection, though the practical scope of erasure rights is constrained by the public blockchain environment. California residents are expressly granted rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing of personal information, and the policy's interaction with CCPA's definition of 'sale' in the context of NFT transaction data warrants review.

18 important changes detected

18 versions captured · Last updated: May 2026

What changed The detected change reflects a price display modification in OpenSea's Privacy Policy document header, where a USD price figure changed from $2,177.26 to $2,110.33. This appears to be a non-substantive formatting or display update rather than a change to privacy policy terms. The operational substance of OpenSea's privacy commitments and data handling practices remains unstated in the available change information.
Why this matters The detected change involves a price display modification in the Privacy Policy document header, not a substantive revision to privacy practices or data handling terms. Based on the available change information, this does not alter what data OpenSea collects, how it uses personal information, or what rights or protections apply to users.

What changed The detected change in OpenSea's privacy policy on May 18, 2026 appears to be a minor adjustment: a sentence was modified, and one price figure in the document changed from $2,263.51 to $2,177.26. Without access to the full text of the modified sentence or context about what this price represents, the operational significance of this change cannot be confidently determined. The price change may reflect a fee adjustment, currency fluctuation, or a correction to example data.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy contains a minor modification to one sentence and adjusts a price figure. The practical impact of this change cannot be assessed without knowing what the modified sentence states or what the price figure pertains to. Review the full updated policy language to determine if this affects data practices, fees, or consumer obligations.
