The Coinbase Wallet Extension is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information. This privacy policy outlines the practices we follow when you use our browser extension for managing cryptocurrency assets and interacting with blockchain networks.
Your trust is fundamental to our service. We collect minimal personal data and are transparent about our practices. This policy explains what information we gather, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
Information We Collect
When you install and use Coinbase Wallet Extension, we collect limited information necessary for service delivery. This includes your IP address, browser type, and transaction metadata when you interact with blockchain networks. We also gather usage analytics to improve the extension's performance and user experience.
You have control over what information you share. Optional settings allow you to customize your privacy level. We never force data collection beyond what's necessary for basic wallet functionality.
How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us enhance security, prevent fraud, and improve wallet features. We analyze usage patterns to identify bugs and optimize performance. Transaction information helps us provide accurate balance and history tracking.
We use your information only for purposes disclosed in this policy. Marketing and advertising use is minimal and non-invasive. You can opt out of non-essential data collection anytime.
Data Security Measures
We implement industry-standard encryption and security protocols. Your wallet data is protected using advanced cryptographic methods. Regular security audits ensure our systems meet current standards.
Your private keys are encrypted locally. We never access or store your seed phrases. Even our team cannot decrypt your wallet information.
Blockchain Interactions
When you transact on blockchain networks, your activity is recorded on public ledgers. This is not within our control but inherent to blockchain technology. Your Coinbase Wallet Extension merely facilitates these interactions.
We do not track your transactions beyond what's visible on the blockchain. Your IP address may be visible to blockchain nodes during network interactions.
Cookies and Tracking
We use functional cookies to maintain your session and remember preferences. Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with our extension. You can disable cookies through your browser settings without losing core functionality.
We do not use invasive tracking pixels or cross-site tracking. Third-party analytics services operate under strict data-sharing agreements.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, modify, or delete your data. You can request information about what we collect and how we use it. In most jurisdictions, you can request data portability.
To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team. We respond to requests within the timeframe required by law. You can also opt out of optional data collection features.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated through the extension or our website. Your continued use of Coinbase Wallet Extension indicates acceptance of updated terms.
The most current version of this policy is always available on our website. We encourage you to review it regularly to stay informed.
