Coinbase's privacy policy was updated on April 19, 2026, with a minor modification to a sentence describing how the platform uses customer data to provide access to Verified Pools, a blockchain protocol. The change removed the word 'a' before 'blockchain protocol' in the sentence. This is a minor editorial revision with no material change to the substantive disclosure or data handling practices described.
This change is a minor grammatical revision to existing language describing how Coinbase uses customer information to provide access to Verified Pools. The operational disclosure and data handling practice remain unchanged; only the phrasing of one sentence was edited. No new permissions, restrictions, or data practices were introduced or modified.
This change has minimal operational significance. The updated language clarifies the grammar of existing disclosure about Verified Pools access without modifying the substantive data practice, consumer rights, or permissions described.
