Coinbase made a minor formatting adjustment to their Privacy Policy on April 5, 2026, adding an extra space before the words 'blockchain protocol' in a sentence describing Verified Pools. The meaning of the sentence did not change — it still describes Verified Pools as a blockchain protocol for users verified by Coinbase. This change has no practical impact on how Coinbase handles user data or what rights users have.
This change is purely cosmetic and does not affect how Coinbase collects, uses, or shares user data. No user rights or protections were altered.
