Twilio added two new disclosures to its Privacy Notice on May 22, 2026. First, the policy now explicitly states that Twilio Inc. is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers. Second, the policy introduces an opt-out mechanism allowing users to decline third-party data disclosure (except service providers) or use of their data for purposes materially different from the original collection purpose. The policy also corrected terminology from 'Data Protection Frameworks' to 'Data Privacy Frameworks' in the dispute resolution section.
Consumers: You can tell Twilio not to share your data with third parties or use it for purposes you did not originally authorize.
