HELP NOSTR friends:

I would like to delete my Coinbase account, but as I still have 1€ in it, it won't let me delete anything.

Also I would really like to be able to delete everything from their database about my address, linked accounts etc etc.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Don't know but boosted question

thanks πŸ˜‰

I think back then you could donate remaining funds before closing. havent used Coinbase for some time, so don't know If that's still a thing.

Thanks, I will check

I think you cant for fiat balances. Need a bank account. Scammers.

I just saw i still have an account with 1 cent. I would need to kyc (again) to add a bank account to withdraw 1 cent to be able to close the account.

It's really absurd...

I recommend kyc light services like Relai or Pocket l, or even better P2P directly.

I use BitcoinVoucherBot here on Nostr, or Telegram here https://t.me/BitcoinVoucherBot?start=109549250

I think they store your information forever.

Worst case scenario: update all the data fields you're allowed to change into nonsense. Change the address to some political party headquarters - all your linked accounts update the numbers to 123456 or something. Identify as a different gender. Change your birth year to 1776, all that sort of thing.

Their system is built for collecting data... it doesn't have to be the right data!

To change the data, they want the documents back... They're not so clueless

For some specific fields, but I suspect a whole portion of the data collection is done via automated processes, so at the very least it would obscure and obfuscate his identity. If they won't delete the data he can take small steps to make it less usable.

Thank you πŸ€™

Doesn't GDPR help you out here?

They legally have to hold your info for at least few (6?) years.

To delete the account, you have to buy some coin and send it out, skip to the end (around 30 minute). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l1KwAZKGts
