Social Media and Third-Party Platform Integrations — Poshmark

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Poshmark includes buttons and tools from Facebook and other social media platforms that can track your IP address and browsing activity on Poshmark even if you don't click them.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Facebook Like buttons and similar third-party widgets on Poshmark pages can silently collect your IP address and browsing history on Poshmark and send it to Facebook and other companies under their own data practices, which Poshmark does not control. Using a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts can prevent this passive data collection.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Third-party social media widgets can collect your data as soon as a page loads — even without you clicking the button — and this data goes directly to those third parties under their own privacy policies, not Poshmark's.

View original clause language

Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the 'Share This' button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Service. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Service, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Service.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party pixel and widget tracking implicates GDPR Arts. 26 (joint controller obligations when third-party widgets collect data on Poshmark's platform) and 28 (data processor requirements), ePrivacy Directive cookie consent obligations, and FTC Act Section 5. The CJEU Fashion ID ruling (Case C-40/17) established that website operators embedding third-party social plugins are joint controllers with the plugin provider and bear independent GDPR obligations.
