Amplitude updated its Privacy Notice on May 14, 2026, with minor revisions to disclosure language. The primary change involves replacing a reference to PathFactory's privacy practices with an explicit disclosure about ZeroClick, a conversion tracking tool used in Amplitude's advertising. The updated text now states that Amplitude uses ZeroClick to track conversions and website visits from advertisements, and directs users to ZeroClick's privacy practices for more information.
The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly discloses that Amplitude uses ZeroClick to track conversions and website visits from advertisements delivered through their ad network. Previously, this specific tracking tool and its purpose were not disclosed in the language provided. The change adds clarity about what advertising-related data collection occurs, and directs users to ZeroClick's separate privacy notice for additional details about how that vendor processes data.
The updated language provides explicit transparency about how Amplitude tracks advertising performance, establishing a disclosure chain that directs users to a third-party vendor's privacy practices. This supports compliance with privacy framework transparency obligations and clarifies the scope of conversion tracking occurring through Amplitude's ad network.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Amplitude clarified its Privacy Notice to explicitly disclose use of ZeroClick for conversion and website visit tracking in advertising contexts. This appears to be a disclosure addition rather than a material change in data practices, and likely reflects standard vendor transparency requirements under privacy frameworks like GDPR and CCPA that require organizations to disclose third-party tools used for data collection. No new collection authority is being asserted, only documentation of an existing advertising practice. Organizations relying on Amplitude should verify that their own privacy notices and data processing agreements reflect this vendor disclosure.
