What it is

Poshmark shares your personal information — including browsing behavior, purchase history, and device data — with third-party advertising and analytics companies to show you targeted ads.

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 sharing can result in your personal data being used by companies you have no direct relationship with, and it may constitute a 'sale' of data under some state privacy laws.

The updated policy establishes new restrictions on product categories previously allowed or unregulated, including prohibitions on used socks and underwear, mystery boxes with specific disclosure requirements, and strict conditions for cosmetics and electronics. Sellers who list prohibited items may face temporary or permanent account suspension, payment withholding, and item removal at Poshmark's discretion. The policy explicitly reserves the right to dispose or destroy prohibited items sent to authentication centers. You can report suspected violations to Poshmark, but enforcement decisions remain within the company's sole discretion.

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.
