Tech Inquiry Said Coinbase Tracer Will Provide the ICE With Data about Crypto Users
According to a contract obtained by watchdog group Tech Inquiry, Coinbase Tracer will provide the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) with data about crypto users, including their "historical geo tracking data" and transaction history. And then a representative for Coinbase denied that the information provided by the analytics software is the exchange’s customer data. "All Coinbase Tracer features use data that is fully sourced from online, publicly available data, and do not include any personally-identifiable information for anyone, or any proprietary Coinbase user data."
