The policy states that all account information except email address is publicly visible on OpenSea, and acknowledges that publicly posted content may persist on third-party sites even after removal from OpenSea.

This provision establishes that the scope of public disclosure for account data is broad, covering all account information except email address, and the policy explicitly notes that removal from OpenSea does not guarantee removal from other locations on the internet. This has direct implications for data deletion requests and the practical scope of user control over personal information.
Under this clause, account information other than email address is visible to any party accessing OpenSea. The agreement acknowledges that once information is public it may persist elsewhere on the internet, which affects the practical outcome of deletion requests submitted under data subject rights frameworks.

"Your Account Information (other than your email address) will be publicly visible. Remember public content can exist elsewhere on the internet even after you remove it from your account on OpenSea.Excerpt from OpenSea's Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision may require evaluation under GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) and CCPA deletion rights, as the policy acknowledges that publicly visible content may persist on third-party platforms beyond OpenSea's control. The FTC and relevant EU data protection authorities oversee obligations related to accurate disclosure of data persistence. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision discloses a factual limitation on deletion effectiveness but does not assert a right to prevent erasure; however, the acknowledgment that content may persist elsewhere may be relevant in assessing the completeness of deletion fulfillment under applicable law. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA and UK users operating under GDPR have a right to erasure that extends to controllers instructing processors; however, where data has been made publicly available and republished by third parties, the practical enforceability of complete erasure is jurisdiction- and fact-dependent. California users under CCPA have deletion rights that apply to the business's own systems. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams and B2B partners integrating with OpenSea via API should assess whether their own data handling obligations are affected by receiving publicly visible account data. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether the disclosure of public content persistence is sufficiently prominent to satisfy notice requirements under GDPR and CCPA, and whether deletion request workflows include user-facing communication about the limitations of removal from third-party platforms.
