What this means for you

The updated policy no longer includes a direct reference sentence pointing to previous versions of the privacy policy. This means users cannot locate archived versions through this specific sentence in the current document. The practical effect is that users seeking prior policy versions must find them through alternative means, such as the Internet Archive, Coinbase support, or account history pages if those channels remain available.
