Event Summary

Snowflake updated its Privacy Notice on May 16, 2026 with two minor changes. The agreement previously stated that personal information would be processed in accordance with 'their Privacy Notice' and has been revised to say 'its Privacy Notice'. Additionally, new language was added stating 'I may unsubscribe through unsubscribe links at any time.' These changes clarify the grammatical reference to the Privacy Notice and explicitly establish an unsubscribe mechanism for individuals who submit forms.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The updated Privacy Notice adds explicit language confirming that individuals may unsubscribe through unsubscribe links at any time. This clarifies an available mechanism for managing marketing communications. The grammatical change from 'their' to 'its' does not alter substantive rights or obligations. You can exercise the unsubscribe option through links provided by Snowflake at any time.

Governance Analysis

The updated terms now explicitly establish an unsubscribe mechanism, making clear that individuals can opt out of communications at any time. This clarification aligns with standard direct marketing requirements and reduces ambiguity about how to manage communication preferences.

Available Actions

Use unsubscribe links in communications from Snowflake to opt out at any time

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

Snowflake added explicit unsubscribe language to its form submission disclosures and corrected a grammatical reference. The unsubscribe provision likely reflects compliance with standard marketing communication requirements under regulations such as CAN-SPAM (US) and GDPR Article 21 (EU). The change is clarificatory and requires no action unless your organization's marketing practices differ from disclosed standards.

Regulatory Exposure

CAN-SPAM Act (unsubscribe mechanism), GDPR Article 21 (right to opt out of direct marketing)
