Binance
Binance is a major regulated cryptocurrency exchange with 13 verified trackers (analytics, advertising, attribution, and social SDKs) and 23 permissions granted, including location, contacts, camera, and microphone access. While the app provides legitimate financial services with strong regulatory compliance and encryption for sensitive transactions, the broad permission scope and extensive third-party data sharing create moderate privacy and security risks typical of large fintech platforms.
