Coinbase removed a sentence from their privacy policy on April 2, 2026 that provided a link to the previous version of the policy. Before this change, users could easily access the prior privacy policy through a direct link. Now that link is gone, making it harder for users to compare the current policy against what it used to say.
Removing the link to the prior privacy policy makes it harder for users to track how Coinbase's data practices have changed over time, reducing a basic transparency mechanism. This is a small but meaningful reduction in user-accessible policy history.

Coinbase removed the hyperlink to its prior privacy policy on April 2, 2026. This is a minor transparency change but touches on Art. 13(2)(b) GDPR and CCPA obligations around providing accessible, understandable privacy disclosures. No immediate compliance action is required, but organizations should note that removing historical policy access can draw scrutiny from regulators who expect users to understand how their data practices have changed.
