Summary

This document establishes the privacy policy for Binance.US, operated by BAM Trading Services Inc., and specifies categories of personal data collected from account holders and permitted uses of that data. Binance.US collects government-issued identification, Social Security numbers, bank account details, biometric data, transaction records, device data, and browsing information, with authorization to share such data with third-party service providers, financial institutions, analytics vendors, advertisers, and law enforcement. The policy permits California residents to submit requests to access, delete, correct, or restrict sharing of their personal data through the Binance.US privacy request portal.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is the Privacy Policy for BAM Trading Services Inc. (operating as Binance.US), governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information for users of the Binance.US cryptocurrency exchange platform. The policy states that BAM collects identifiers (name, email, phone, government ID), financial information (bank account numbers, transaction history), device and technical data (IP address, browser type, operating system, cookies), biometric data collected during identity verification, and behavioral data (browsing activity, trading patterns); the terms authorize sharing this information with service providers, financial partners, law enforcement, and affiliates. The policy asserts broad data retention authority and describes sharing personal data with third-party analytics, advertising, and compliance vendors, while also disclosing the use of cookies and tracking technologies for behavioral analytics and marketing. The policy engages the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment under CPRA, the Bank Secrecy Act, FinCEN regulations, and general FTC Act consumer protection standards; as a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, BAM is subject to financial services compliance requirements including KYC and AML obligations that necessitate collection of government-issued identification and financial records. California residents are expressly identified as having additional rights including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing of personal information, though the practical scope of those rights under CCPA depends on enforcement context and how BAM classifies its data processing activities.
