The policy states that Airtable may revise the Privacy Policy at any time and will notify users via email of material revisions, with materiality determined solely by Airtable.

This provision reserves to Airtable the unilateral authority to determine which revisions constitute material changes requiring email notification, meaning that revisions Airtable determines to be non-material will not trigger direct user notification and will apply to previously collected information under the new terms.
Under this clause, Airtable may update its Privacy Policy and will provide email notice only for revisions it internally classifies as material; users should monitor the posted Privacy Policy page for updates that may not trigger an email notification.

"Any information that we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may, however, revise the Privacy Policy from time to time. If a revision is material, as determined solely by us, we will notify you via email. The current version will always be posted to our Privacy Policy page.Excerpt from Airtable's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR requires that data subjects be informed of material changes to how their personal data is processed, and the standard for what constitutes a material change may differ from Airtable's internal determination. CCPA and other U.S. state privacy laws may similarly require disclosure of certain policy changes. The sole discretion standard for materiality determinations may require evaluation under applicable transparency requirements. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The sole discretion materiality standard creates a compliance gap risk where changes that are operationally significant to users may not trigger direct notification. Enterprise customers should establish their own monitoring processes for policy updates. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA and UK jurisdictions may require evaluation of whether the notification standard is consistent with GDPR transparency obligations, particularly for changes affecting the legal basis for processing or the categories of data collected. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise DPAs should specify whether Airtable's privacy policy change notification obligations extend to the DPA context and whether enterprise customers receive advance notice of material policy changes affecting data processing. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should establish a process to monitor Airtable's posted Privacy Policy for changes and assess whether updates require DPA amendments, user-facing disclosure updates, or other compliance actions.
