Medium Mar 25, 2026

Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy provides substantially more transparency about the personal data it collects (including name, address, payment details, and content you create), how it uses and shares that information, and the legal bases for processing. The policy now explicitly covers data collected across websites, mobile apps, and other platforms, and identifies collection points including account registration, purchases, listings, stories, and interactions with other users. California residents are directed to a separate supplemental privacy notice. While this change increases clarity about data practices rather than restricting new data collection, reviewing the specific uses and sharing practices described in the full policy can help you understand what data Poshmark retains and how it may be used.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) and FTC COPPA Rule (16 CFR Part 312), which require verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The 13+ minimum age is the standard COPPA threshold. For users aged 13-17, COPPA does not apply but state minor protection laws may impose additional obligations. California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273, effective 2024) requires platforms likely to be accessed by minors under 18 to implement specific data protection measures. The FTC is the primary COPPA enforcement authority with fines up to $51,744 per violation per day. (2)
