Segment updated its privacy policy on May 22, 2026 to add two new provisions and clarify one existing process. The company added explicit notice that Twilio Inc. (Segment's parent company) is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers, and introduced a new opt-out right allowing users to decline disclosure of their data to third parties or use for materially different purposes than originally authorized. The policy also revised its dispute resolution language to refer to 'Data Privacy Frameworks' instead of 'Data Protection Frameworks' in the context of JAMS arbitration. These changes establish new user controls and regulatory transparency without removing existing protections.
Consumers: You now have the right to opt out of letting Segment share your data with third parties or use it for new purposes you didn't originally authorize.
The updated policy establishes a new opt-out mechanism allowing users to decline having their data disclosed to third parties (other than service providers) or used for purposes materially different from the original collection purpose. The policy also explicitly discloses that Twilio Inc. is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers, providing users with notice of the regulatory authority overseeing the company's privacy practices. You can exercise this opt-out right by contacting Segment through the mechanism specified in their privacy policy.
