Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes Coinbase's obligations under California privacy law to provide California residents with specific data access, deletion, and control mechanisms. The clause operationalizes statutory rights by explicitly recognizing them within the privacy policy framework.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

California residents can submit requests to access, delete, correct, or limit the use of their sensitive personal information — including government ID, financial account numbers, and precise geolocation data — but must actively initiate these requests through Coinbase's privacy portal at privacy.coinbase.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Go to privacy.coinbase.com and select the applicable right (Know, Delete, Correct, Opt Out, or Limit Sensitive PI). You will need to verify your identity. Coinbase must respond within 45 days. Note that deletion of account data may prevent continued use of Coinbase services.
