Government-issued ID is among the most sensitive categories of personal data and its collection by a consumer marketplace creates heightened security and misuse risks if not properly protected.
Interpretive note: The exact document language on government ID collection was not fully visible in the rendered text; the provision is inferred from standard StockX seller verification practices and partial policy text; the specific GDPR legal basis and retention terms for this data are not detailed in the visible policy excerpt.
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.
