While COPPA compliance is addressed for under-13 users, the policy's handling of teen users between 13 and 17 who may be buying or selling on the platform is less clearly specified, which matters given the platform's appeal to younger sneaker and streetwear collectors.
Interpretive note: The complete minors-related policy language was not fully visible in the rendered document; the provision reflects standard COPPA disclosure language inferred from partial text and the absence of visible teen-specific protections.
The updated policy authorizes StockX to share and sell personal information to a broader range of recipients than previously disclosed. Specifically, the policy now explicitly permits sharing or selling personal data, including identifiers, transaction data, and browsing behavior, to Live Sellers on the Live Shopping Platform, Sellers on the Listings Marketplace, and third-party data brokers. The prior version limited disclosures to 'sharing' with 'StockX Verified Sellers' without explicit reference to data sales or data brokers. Under the revised terms, data sale and sharing is now standard practice for analytics, advertising, and marketplace partners. The policy does not describe a consumer opt-out mechanism for this data sharing or selling.
