What it is

Poshmark can share your personal information with outside companies for their own marketing purposes, including companies that run co-branded promotions with Poshmark.

This analysis describes what Poshmark's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision extends the use of your personal data beyond Poshmark itself, allowing outside businesses to market directly to you based on information you provided to Poshmark, which may not match users' reasonable expectations.

Interpretive note: The category of business partners is not exhaustively defined, and the precise scope of data shared and purposes permitted may vary in practice; applicable law may impose additional restrictions on such sharing not fully captured by the policy's disclosures.

Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy provides significantly more transparent disclosure about what personal data the company collects, how it uses that data, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. The policy now explicitly itemizes data collection points, including photos, videos, payment information, social media accounts, and user interaction data, and provides a dedicated section on consumer rights and choices. The policy also includes a dedicated California Privacy Notice supplement, indicating enhanced compliance with California privacy laws. You can review the full updated policy and California Privacy Notice to understand Poshmark's specific data practices and identify which privacy rights and choices are available to you.

Poshmark's updated privacy policy provides more explicit detail about what categories of personal data the company collects through the platform, including user-generated content (photos, videos, listings), interaction data (likes, comments, offers), and payment information. The expanded disclosure does not necessarily indicate new data collection practices, but gives users clearer visibility into what information Poshmark holds. You can review the full policy at Poshmark's website to understand which data collection practices apply to your account activity and, if you are a California resident, consult the supplementary California Privacy Notice referenced in the policy.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your name, contact details, purchase history, and behavioral data may be shared with third-party business partners who can use it for their own advertising campaigns, potentially resulting in targeted marketing from companies you have no direct relationship with.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Visit privacy.poshmark.com and submit a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information request. California residents can also adjust data sharing preferences in account privacy settings.
