Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.

OpenSea's Privacy Policy explains what data OpenSea collects about you, how it uses and shares that data, and what rights you have over it. Most of your account information is publicly visible by default, OpenSea automatically collects data about your device and blockchain activity, and your data may be kept even if you ask for it to be deleted. Users in jurisdictions without legally mandated privacy rights have no enforceable claim to a specific response — OpenSea has full discretion over those requests.
OpenSea's Privacy Policy establishes the conditions under which OpenSea collects, uses, retains, and discloses user information in connection with its NFT marketplace service. It provides that Account Information — except email address — is publicly visible by default, that OpenSea automatically collects browser, device, and blockchain data without active user submission, and that anonymized, deidentified, or aggregated data derived from user information may be used or disclosed for any purpose without restriction. Data retention persists after deletion requests where OpenSea determines retention is reasonably necessary for legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or Terms enforcement. User information may be disclosed upon a good-faith belief of legal necessity, and may be transferred as a business asset in corporate transactions or insolvency proceedings, with cross-border transfers from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland subject to appropriate safeguards including EU Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
As an individual user, your Account Information (other than your email address) is publicly visible by default, and OpenSea automatically collects data from your device and from public blockchain sources — including wallet addresses and NFT transaction records — without you submitting anything. If you request deletion of your data, OpenSea retains the right to keep it where it determines retention is reasonably necessary for legal, dispute-resolution, fraud-prevention, or enforcement purposes. Your information may also be shared with third parties during corporate transactions, including during negotiation, or transferred as a business asset in insolvency. If you are in the EEA or UK, cross-border transfers of your personal data are subject to appropriate safeguards including EU Standard Contractual Clauses where required. Users whose jurisdictions do not provide legally mandated privacy rights should be aware that OpenSea has full discretion over whether and how to fulfill any privacy request they submit.
