Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes the operational limitation of Uniswap's data handling authority: while the entity collects certain user data it can manage, blockchain-recorded transaction history and associated wallet data remain permanently immutable and beyond the organization's deletion or modification capacity.

This clause type exists across 1630 other provisions on other platforms.

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.
