Retention is governed by two independent bases—Privacy Policy purposes and legal or regulatory obligations—meaning data may be retained beyond a user's relationship with Binance.US if either basis remains active.

Under the revised terms, Binance.US may disclose pseudonymous wallet information (including read-only access to associated balances and transaction history) to third parties. Additionally, the policy no longer restricts data storage to the United States; data may now be stored and processed both within and outside the country. The updated language does not specify an opt-out mechanism for Web3 wallet data collection.

The updated privacy policy now discloses that Binance.US collects information from interactions with AI chatbots, including prompts, market research, and uploaded information. The policy states this data may be shared with OpenAI, which according to the revised language may receive information about your account, portfolio, and communication contents along with associated metadata. The updated terms also broaden the stated use of personal information to include generating interactive responses through AI chatbots that provide market research and portfolio-specific analysis, as well as collecting inferences about your service use. Your continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of these updated data collection and sharing practices.

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.
