Poshmark, Inc.

Poshmark is a large social commerce marketplace where users in the U.S. and Canada can buy and sell new and secondhand items, primarily clothing, accessories, and home goods. With over 80 million users, the platform functions like a social media site, allowing individuals to create public "closets," follow other users, and share listings. While primarily a marketplace, users create profiles that can reveal personal information through listed items, photos, and user interactions. This public-facing information, including usernames and potentially details gleaned from images or descriptions, could be exploited by bad actors for activities like doxxing or online harassment. The social nature of the platform may encourage users to share more than they would on a typical e-commerce site, increasing privacy risks. To protect themselves, individuals should be cautious about the personal details they share in their profiles, photos, and public comments, and they can manage their privacy settings and opt-out of certain data sharing on the platform.
