Zendesk's Privacy Policy was updated on May 5, 2026 to add references to two new documents in its governance framework: the Zendesk Partner Agreement and the AI Services Addendum. These documents now appear in the policy's table of contents alongside existing agreements. The change itself is organizational—no substantive modifications to privacy rights or data handling practices are stated in the detected change.
The updated Privacy Policy now references two additional governing documents: the Zendesk Partner Agreement and the AI Services Addendum. These documents may contain terms that apply to specific user groups, particularly those using partner services or AI-powered features. To understand how these new documents affect you, review the full text of both agreements, especially if you are a partner or use any AI-enabled Zendesk services.
These additions signal that Zendesk has formalized separate governance terms for partners and AI services. Users of these services should review the newly-referenced documents to understand what data handling, consent, or service restrictions may now apply to their use of the platform.
→ Review the full text of the Zendesk Partner Agreement and AI Services Addendum, especially if you are a partner or use Zendesk AI features.
→ If you are a business customer using Zendesk, confirm with your account team whether the AI Services Addendum introduces restrictions on AI processing of your data.

→ If you are a partner, you may not understand new obligations or data handling requirements specified in the Partner Agreement.
