Wix can use data that has been stripped of identifying information for any purpose it chooses, including analytics, research, and marketing, without restriction.

While de-identification reduces privacy risk, the practical robustness of de-identification methods varies, and regulators in some jurisdictions apply scrutiny to whether data is truly irreversible.
Interpretive note: The technical rigor of Wix's de-identification methods is not described in the policy; the adequacy of the carve-out under GDPR depends on whether data meets the anonymization threshold, which cannot be assessed from policy language alone.
Wix retains broad rights to use de-identified or aggregated versions of your personal data for any internal purpose, including commercial analytics and product development, without needing consent, and these uses fall outside the scope of data subject rights requests.

"We may use aggregated and/or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for any purpose, including for research, analytics, marketing, and product improvement purposes. Wix will not attempt to re-identify such information.— Excerpt from Wix's Wix Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Recital 26 provides that de-identified data falls outside GDPR scope only where re-identification is not reasonably possible; the standard is a practical one and regulators (including the Article 29 Working Party's successor, the EDPB) have issued guidance that true anonymization is technically difficult to achieve. CCPA/CPRA excludes deidentified data from its scope but requires that recipients not attempt re-identification and maintain technical and organizational safeguards. The FTC has issued guidance warning that claimed anonymization can be insufficient where re-identification is feasible. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This type of carve-out is standard across large technology platforms. The primary compliance question is whether Wix's de-identification practices are technically sufficient to meet the GDPR anonymization standard, rather than the existence of the carve-out itself. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA regulators apply the most stringent anonymization standards; if data is found to be pseudonymized rather than fully anonymized, GDPR continues to apply. California's CPRA requires documented deidentification processes and contractual prohibitions on re-identification when sharing with third parties. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses whose user data flows to Wix should consider whether aggregated insights Wix derives from their users' data could create competitive intelligence concerns, particularly in verticals with highly specific user behavior data. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should request information from Wix about the technical standards applied to de-identification and confirm that any de-identified data sets shared with third parties include contractual re-identification prohibitions as required under CPRA.
