This provision establishes a minimum age threshold of 16, which exceeds the COPPA threshold of 13, and commits to deletion of data collected from users under 16. The reliance on a 'knowingly' standard means the protection depends on self-reporting and detection rather than active age verification mechanisms.
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.
