Even if you close your Binance.US account, the company retains your personal and financial data for extended periods to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations.
Closing your account does not mean your data is deleted — Binance.US keeps it for regulatory compliance, which limits your ability to fully erase your digital footprint.
Data retention obligations under BSA/AML regulations (31 CFR Part 1010) and FinCEN's Customer Due Diligence (CDD) rule require retention of records for a minimum of five years, creating tension with state-level deletion rights under CCPA and similar frameworks.

Binance.US collects extensive personal and financial data including government ID, transaction history, and device behavior, and may share this with third-party marketing partners, affiliates, and law enforcement without requiring a warrant in some circumstances. Users' data may be retained for extended periods to comply with financial regulations such as AML and KYC requirements, meaning closure of an account does not necessarily result in deletion of personal data. You can opt out of data sharing for marketing purposes or request access to your personal data by contacting Binance.US through their privacy request portal.
