The updated policy explicitly authorizes Binance.US to disclose user information to law enforcement, government agencies, regulators, financial institutions, and industry partners to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. This establishes a new disclosure authority that was not previously explicitly stated. Additionally, the revised language discloses that email addresses and other identifiers collected by Binance.US may be used for tailored advertising on other websites and social media platforms. The policy now provides a 'Your Privacy Rights' webform in addition to email contact as a mechanism for submitting privacy rights requests and appeals. You can submit privacy rights requests through privacy@binance.us or by using the company's 'Your Privacy Rights' webform.
