Even before you create an account, Coinbase and its advertising partners may be tracking your browsing behavior and financial interests across the web for targeted advertising purposes.
Coinbase collects a wide range of sensitive personal data — including government-issued identity documents, Social Security numbers, financial account details, transaction history, biometric data, IP addresses, and device identifiers — as a condition of using its platform, and this data may be retained long after account closure due to regulatory obligations. Users' financial transaction data may be shared with blockchain analytics companies, advertising networks, and government agencies without individual notification in many circumstances, creating meaningful privacy and surveillance risks. You can review, download, or request deletion of your personal data by visiting the Coinbase Privacy Center at coinbase.com/settings/privacy.
