The updated policy discloses that Binance.US collects Web3 wallet information including wallet addresses, token balances, transaction data, device identifiers, and timestamps. The company may now disclose pseudonymous wallet identity information (wallet ID) to third parties with read-only access to associated wallet balances and transaction history.
