Coinbase updated its Privacy Policy on March 6, 2026, making primarily technical and formatting corrections. The changes include correcting section reference numbers throughout the policy (for example, changing references from Section 8 to Section 7, and Section 12 to Section 11), updating section headings for consistency (changing 'How Long We Retain Your Personal Information' to 'How Long We Keep Your Personal Information'), standardizing punctuation at the end of sentences, and correcting British English spelling (changing 'endeavor' to 'endeavour'). One sentence was added noting that previous versions of the Privacy Policy can be accessed through a link. These changes do not alter Coinbase's data practices, rights, or obligations; they correct internal document structure and formatting.

What this means for you

The updated Privacy Policy contains corrections to internal section references, heading language, and punctuation formatting. These are technical corrections that do not alter what data Coinbase collects, how it processes information, or what rights users have. The policy continues to describe Coinbase's data practices under the same substantive terms; the changes only correct how those terms are organized and referenced internally.

Key Clauses Affected

section references

Multiple internal references to policy sections were corrected to reflect updated numbering; operational substance of referenced provisions unchanged.

policy archive link

Updated policy now includes a link to previous versions, supporting transparency regarding policy history.
