"California residents have the right to opt out of the sale and sharing of their personal information. To exercise this right, please visit your account privacy settings or submit a request at privacy.poshmark.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.— Excerpt from Poshmark's Poshmark Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly implements opt-out rights required under CCPA and CPRA, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General. CPRA requires businesses to honor Global Privacy Control signals as a valid opt-out mechanism, and compliance with this technical requirement should be verified. The non-discrimination provision mirrors the statutory requirement under CCPA that businesses may not deny goods, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service to users who exercise privacy rights. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's acknowledgment that certain data sharing constitutes a sale or sharing under California law is a positive compliance step, but operational verification is required to confirm that all relevant data flows are captured by the opt-out mechanism and that business partner agreements are updated to reflect opt-out signals. Failure to honor opt-out requests or to cascade them to business partners creates direct regulatory exposure. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California presents the primary jurisdiction for this provision. Other states including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah have enacted similar opt-out rights for targeted advertising, and the policy's mechanisms should be evaluated for applicability to those user populations as well. The policy's non-discrimination commitment aligns with statutory requirements in most US state privacy frameworks. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendor agreements with advertising and analytics partners must include provisions requiring those partners to honor opt-out signals passed through by Poshmark. Business partners who receive personal data for marketing should be contractually obligated to cease processing upon receiving opt-out signals and to confirm compliance. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit the technical implementation of the opt-out mechanism, including whether the Global Privacy Control signal is detected and honored for California users. The process for propagating opt-out signals to downstream business partners should be documented and tested. Annual review of the list of data sales and sharing arrangements and corresponding opt-out mechanisms is advisable given the evolving regulatory landscape.
