Coinbase updated internal section references in its Privacy Policy on April 29, 2026 by renumbering sections throughout the document. The policy previously referenced Section 7, 11, 4, and 9 for specific topics; the updated version now references Sections 8, 12, 3, 5, and 10 respectively. Additionally, a section heading was reworded from 'How Long We Keep Your Personal Information' to 'How Long We Retain Your Personal Information.' These changes appear to reflect organizational restructuring of the policy document itself rather than substantive changes to Coinbase's data practices or user rights.
This change does not materially affect the rights, obligations, or data practices described in Coinbase's privacy policy. The updated language corrects internal section reference numbers to align with the policy's reorganized structure. The renumbered sections address the same topics previously described at different section numbers; the substantive policy content remains the same. No action is required by users.
Internal cross-references renumbered to reflect restructured policy sections; no changes to referenced content
