Privacy and Data Protection on Binance#
Many Binance users care about privacy and protecting their data, but are not aware of the tools or practices that can enhance their privacy. Here are some simple and important tools and settings available on Binance (and other recommendations) that help maintain privacy:
- Privacy tools that can be used on the Binance platform:
1. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
- A key tool to protect your account.
- It is preferable to use the Google Authenticator or Authy app instead of SMS, as they are more secure.
2. Managing connected devices:
Through the settings, you can see the devices you have logged into your account from and remove the untrusted ones.
- It is advised to review this list periodically.
3. Account Activity Settings:
- Monitoring login activities and executed transactions gives you a quick view of any suspicious activity.
4. Trusted withdrawal addresses (Whitelist Addresses):
- You can restrict withdrawals to specific addresses only.
- If someone hacks your account, they will only be able to transfer money to trusted addresses.
5. Privacy mode while trading (Hide Balances):
- A feature to hide balances while sharing the screen or using the platform in front of others.
-- Other practices to maintain privacy:
1. Never share account information (especially email and password).
2. Use a dedicated email only for your Binance account (not used on other sites).
3. Regularly update passwords and use a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password.
4. Avoid public Wi-Fi networks when logging in or performing transactions.
5. Be cautious of fake links and messages (Phishing): Binance does not request your personal information via email.
