What it is

Anything you post publicly on Poshmark — including listings, comments, and profile information — can be collected and used by other users and third parties, and Poshmark is not responsible for what happens to that information.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your public Poshmark profile, listings, and comments are visible to and collectible by anyone on the internet, including data aggregators and scrapers, and Poshmark disclaims responsibility for how others use that information. Users should avoid including sensitive personal details in public listing descriptions or comments.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Public listings and comments can be scraped by data brokers or third parties, and once data is public it is very difficult to remove from the internet even if you delete your Poshmark account.

View original clause language
Please note that if you voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., posting listings, comments, or sharing content through our Services), that information can be viewed by others and can be read, collected, used, or disseminated by others. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in these public areas.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates FTC Act Section 5 regarding accuracy of representations about data control and responsibility. GDPR Arts. 17 and 19 (right to erasure and rectification) extend to publicly posted data where Poshmark is the controller, even if data was voluntarily made public. CCPA §1798.105 right to delete applies to all personal information Poshmark holds regardless of whether it was voluntarily posted.
