Snowflake's Privacy Notice was updated on May 23, 2026 with three changes: the pronoun in a form submission disclosure changed from 'its' to 'their' Privacy Notice, a sentence stating users could unsubscribe through links at any time was removed entirely, and 'Cookie Settings' was revised to 'Cookies Settings'. The removal of the unsubscribe language means the document no longer explicitly guarantees users can unsubscribe from communications through links at any point.
The updated Privacy Notice no longer includes explicit language stating that users 'may unsubscribe through unsubscribe links at any time.' This removal means the document no longer contains that specific commitment to unsubscribe availability. The updated terms still reference a Privacy Notice governing data processing and retain cookie-related disclosures, but the removal of the unsubscribe guarantee eliminates a documented mechanism users may have relied on. You can review the full Privacy Notice to understand current communication and preference management options.
The removal of explicit unsubscribe language eliminates a documented mechanism users could rely on to manage communications. Under GDPR, CCPA, and CAN-SPAM, clear opt-out mechanisms are generally required for marketing communications; the removal of this disclosure may create compliance questions if unsubscribe functionality is no longer available or if the company's actual practice diverges from the new silence on the topic.
→ Users will no longer have a documented guarantee that unsubscribe links are available at any time to manage communications.
→ The updated Privacy Notice no longer explicitly commits to providing unsubscribe mechanisms as a stated policy.

The Privacy Notice no longer explicitly states that unsubscribe links are available at any time for users to manage communications.
Snowflake removed a sentence guaranteeing unsubscribe capability through links at any time from its Privacy Notice. This removal affects the contractual and disclosed mechanisms users can rely on to manage communication preferences. Organizations using Snowflake as a vendor may need to evaluate whether this change affects their data processing agreements, privacy notices to their own customers, or representations about communication control. If your organization has incorporated Snowflake's unsubscribe guarantee into downstream privacy disclosures or customer communications, this change warrants review to ensure consistency.
GDPR Article 21 and Recital 42 establish rights to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing; CCPA and similar US privacy laws generally support opt-out mechanisms for marketing communications. CAN-SPAM Act (US) requires clear opt-out mechanisms for marketing email. The removal of explicit unsubscribe language may engage these frameworks depending on how Snowflake's current practices operate and how the change is implemented. Regulatory interpretation of this removal would depend on whether unsubscribe mechanisms remain available in practice despite the language removal.
