What it is

Uniswap cannot delete your transaction history or wallet address from the blockchain, even if you formally request erasure of your personal data under privacy laws.

This analysis describes what Uniswap's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision creates a permanent limitation on your right to be forgotten under GDPR and your deletion rights under CCPA — your financial activity on the blockchain can never be fully erased, regardless of what privacy law says.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you request deletion of your data under GDPR or CCPA, Uniswap cannot remove your wallet address or transaction history from public blockchains, meaning a permanent record of your crypto activity may always be publicly accessible.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Email privacy@uniswap.org to submit a deletion request for any off-chain personal data Uniswap holds. Be aware that blockchain transaction data and wallet addresses cannot be deleted by Uniswap even if requested.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure/'right to be forgotten') and Art. 17(3) (exceptions including legal obligation, public interest, freedom of expression) are directly implicated. CCPA §1798.105 grants deletion rights subject to enumerated exceptions. The tension between immutable blockchain architecture and data subject erasure rights is an unresolved regulatory question with no definitive EDPB guidance as of the policy date. Enforcement authority: EU DPAs, CPPA, California AG. (2)
