Twilio updated its privacy notice on May 19, 2026 to provide more explicit detail about its Data Privacy Framework (DPF) compliance and certification. The revised language states that Twilio Inc. and subsidiary Stytch Inc. certify compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. DPF as set by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The update also clarifies that if DPF Principles conflict with other terms in the privacy notice, the DPF Principles govern. Additionally, the notice now explicitly describes opt-out choices for third-party disclosures and uses that differ from original collection purposes, and identifies JAMS as the specific dispute resolution provider for DPF-related complaints.
The updated notice establishes more explicit disclosures of Twilio's Data Privacy Framework certifications and specifies the legal hierarchy governing data processing. Under the revised policy, the DPF Principles now take precedence if they conflict with other terms in the privacy notice. The updated language also clarifies your right to opt out of third-party disclosures (except to service providers acting on Twilio's behalf) and to opt out of uses that materially differ from original collection purposes. You can exercise these choices by contacting privacy@twilio.com.
The updated language clarifies Twilio's legal basis for processing EU, UK, and Swiss personal data in the United States by making explicit its Data Privacy Framework certifications and establishing that DPF Principles take precedence over conflicting policy terms. This affects the validity of data transfers and any organization relying on Twilio for cross-border personal data processing must confirm that this framework aligns with their own data transfer justifications.
