These rights give California users meaningful control over how their personal data, including wallet addresses and transaction history, is used and shared by OpenSea.
California residents can actively limit how OpenSea uses and shares their personal data, including opting out of data sharing with advertising partners, but erasure rights may not extend to blockchain-recorded transaction data.

"If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information, including the right to know about the personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, the right to delete personal information we have collected from you, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.— Excerpt from OpenSea's OpenSea Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision reflects obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) is the primary enforcement authority alongside the California Attorney General. Key compliance requirements include responding to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days, maintaining a functioning opt-out of sale or sharing mechanism, and not discriminating against users who exercise their rights. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. CCPA/CPRA compliance for an NFT marketplace involves nuanced classification of wallet address data sharing, transaction data, and analytics partner relationships. The distinction between 'service providers' and 'third parties' under CCPA has significant compliance implications for the opt-out obligation scope. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Applies specifically to California residents. Similar rights frameworks are emerging in Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and other US states, which may create analogous obligations for OpenSea in those jurisdictions even if not expressly addressed in this policy. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Service provider agreements with all California-user data recipients should include CCPA-compliant data processing provisions. Business purpose limitations must be contractually specified for each vendor category. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that the opt-out of sharing mechanism is prominently displayed and functional, that request fulfillment workflows meet the 45-day response requirement, that the policy's description of data categories collected and shared is complete and accurate, and that the policy addresses whether OpenSea offers financial incentives tied to data sharing that would require disclosure.
