What it is

The policy states that OpenSea makes blockchain activity data, including purchases, sales, and transfers, available to external websites and applications via API as part of service delivery.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes disclosure of blockchain transaction data to third-party websites and applications beyond the OpenSea platform. The legal basis asserted is contract performance, which may require evaluation under GDPR purpose limitation and data minimization principles depending on the scope and nature of data exposed.

Interpretive note: The scope of data categories exposed via API and the identity or categories of API recipients are not specified in the policy, creating uncertainty about the full extent of disclosure.
