Coinbase collects personal information that is necessary to provide you with our services. This primarily includes data we collect because it is mandated by law—such as when we must comply with anti-money laundering laws—or to verify your identity and protect you from potential fraudulent activity. We may also collect your data to enable certain services, improve our products, and keep you notified of new developments (based on your preferences). We do not—and will not—sell your data to third parties without your consent.
Please find a list of your data options and data types associated with those options below:
