DocuSign updated its Privacy Statement on May 21, 2026 to expand the scope of personal information collection and describe data sources more explicitly. The updated language now states that DocuSign collects personal information from individuals 'with whom we otherwise communicate in connection with the Services' (broader than website and app users alone) and explicitly identifies 'Marketing Contact Data' collected from third-party provider Clay to support sales and marketing efforts. The policy also clarifies that DocuSign maintains opt-out list data to honor email marketing preferences.
