Just an anecdote but, much to my chagrin, I've had a largely dormant Coinbase account since 2013 and haven't received any notable spam or evidence that my contact info has been handled sloppily.
Recently I started the enrollment process for a couple other popular exchanges and almost immediately start getting some gnarly spam of topical relevance.
