Interpretive note: The enforceability of the disclaimer of responsibility for third-party copying may be constrained by GDPR erasure notification requirements and state law deletion rights, particularly in California and the EU.

"Please note that information you have shared publicly on Poshmark, such as your listings, comments, and profile information, may still be visible to others after you delete your account. We are not responsible for any information that has been copied or saved by other users.— Excerpt from Poshmark's Poshmark Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 17, which establishes a right to erasure, and similar provisions under the UK GDPR and various US state privacy laws including CCPA and CPRA. The right to erasure under GDPR is not absolute and includes exceptions for data made public by the data subject, but controllers remain obligated to take reasonable steps to inform other controllers processing the data of the erasure request. The assertion that Poshmark bears no responsibility for content copied by other users may not fully satisfy GDPR obligations to notify downstream processors. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's disclaimer of responsibility for third-party copying of public content is a common clause but may face challenge under GDPR's erasure notification requirements and under CCPA's right to deletion, which requires businesses to direct service providers to delete personal information. The extent to which this limitation is enforceable will depend on jurisdiction and regulatory interpretation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users face the highest exposure, as GDPR Article 17 imposes affirmative obligations on controllers regarding erasure, including informing other controllers. California residents have statutory deletion rights under CCPA and CPRA that may require more proactive steps than the policy suggests. Jurisdictions where data minimization and purpose limitation are enforced strictly may find the policy's approach to residual public data insufficient. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Data processing agreements with third-party indexers, search engines, or data aggregators who may have cached or stored public Poshmark content should be reviewed to assess whether erasure requests can be cascaded to those parties. Vendor agreements should address downstream deletion obligations to the extent technically feasible. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Poshmark's deletion process includes reasonable steps to de-index or remove publicly posted content from third-party platforms and search engines following account deletion requests. A documented process for handling erasure requests, including scope limitations and user communications, should be maintained and reviewed against applicable law in key jurisdictions.
