Change Summary
Zendesk updated its Privacy Policy on May 11, 2026, repositioning itself as an AI-first service platform. The company revised its core description from a service-first CRM to a platform powered by self-learning AI agents, updated its governing agreement reference from 'Main Services Agreement' to 'Zendesk Customer Agreement', and clarified that personal data collection powers 'intelligent resolutions' and improves service experience. The effective date on the policy moved from January 28, 2026 to May 6, 2026. These changes are primarily descriptive and organizational updates with no material change to data collection, retention, or user rights.
