What this means for you

The updated privacy policy no longer includes a link directing users to the previous version of the policy. Users who wish to compare the current terms to prior versions must now locate archived versions through other means, such as web archives or direct requests to Coinbase. This removes a stated point of reference within the document itself, though it does not affect what data Coinbase collects, uses, or discloses under the current policy.

Key Clauses Affected

Policy version history reference

Removed hyperlink directing users to access the previous privacy policy
