If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our services or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States, where the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in your country.
US privacy law provides weaker protections than GDPR for EU residents, and transferring your data to the US means it may be accessible to US government surveillance programs without the same legal safeguards you have in Europe.
Coinbase collects highly sensitive personal data including government-issued ID, financial account information, transaction history, biometric identifiers, and behavioral data, and shares this information with a broad ecosystem of third parties including advertising networks, blockchain analytics companies, and law enforcement agencies. Users have limited ability to restrict data collection as most categories are deemed necessary to provide services or comply with legal obligations, meaning opting out effectively requires closing the account. You can submit requests to access, delete, or export your personal data through Coinbase's privacy rights portal at privacy.coinbase.com.
