For clarity, Binance.US does not ‘sell’ personal information with these advertising services for monetary consideration, but disclosure may be classified as a ‘sale’ under various state privacy laws.

Our retail Services are directed and offered only to individuals within supported regions in the United States. Our institutional Services are available to companies, or companies with beneficial owners, that may be located outside of the United States. All data is stored in the United States using Amazon Web Services (“AWS”).

Those countries may not have equivalent data protection laws as the country in which you provided the data. When we transfer your data to other countries, we will protect the data as described in this Privacy Policy and comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of data to countries outside the EEA and UK. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) for the transfer of personal data (as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR”) to countries that have not received an applicable adequacy decision, as well as the UK’s International Data Transfer Addendum to the SCCs. By using the Site and Services you agree to the privacy practices laid out in this Policy.

Never share your account credentials with third-parties and submit a Customer Support ticket here if you become aware of unauthorized access to or use of your account.

BAM retains your Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations (i.e., if we are required to retain your data or the information you provided to us to comply with applicable laws, including anti-money-laundering, anti-terrorism, or other financial laws and regulations). In addition, we will retain and use your personal information to resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

To determine how long we will retain your personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

BAM will retain your Personal information for marketing purposes, where applicable, until you unsubscribe from our marketing communications. At that time, we may retain the Sites and Services’ usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Sites and Services, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.

BAM will retain biometric data as part of customer identification information for the retention period required by financial laws and regulations. You can learn more about our biometric data practices in our Biometric Data Privacy Policy.
