Twilio's privacy notice now includes a specific statement that it does not sell personal data to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. The prior language stated the company does not sell data generally. The updated version narrows this commitment by specifying that while certain categories of personal data may be shared for business purposes, mobile information specifically will not be shared or sold for marketing or promotional purposes. This creates a more detailed disclosure of what data may or may not be used for marketing.

What this means for you

The updated privacy notice now specifies that mobile information will not be shared or sold for marketing or promotional purposes, though the policy states that certain categories of personal data may still be shared for other business purposes. The change provides greater clarity about which data types receive explicit marketing-use restrictions versus which data may be used for other business operations. You can review Twilio's privacy notice to understand which specific data categories fall under each category of permitted sharing.
