Summary

This is Amplitude's privacy notice covering how the company handles personal data of website visitors, prospective customers, and end users of products built on the Amplitude analytics platform. The policy discloses that Amplitude collects identifiers, IP addresses, device and browser information, professional contact details, and behavioral and usage data, and authorizes sharing with advertising, analytics, social media, and marketing automation partners for targeted advertising and marketing purposes. The policy separately discloses that data processed through Amplitude's analytics platform on behalf of business customers is handled as a service provider or data processor, with Amplitude's own use of that data limited to service delivery and improvement.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Amplitude, Inc.'s Privacy Notice (effective May 14, 2026), governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in connection with Amplitude's website, marketing activities, and its analytics platform products, with separate treatment for business contacts and end users of customer-deployed analytics SDKs. The policy states that Amplitude collects identifiers, contact information, professional details, device and browser data, IP addresses, usage and behavioral data, and cookie-based tracking information from website visitors and business contacts, and separately processes event data and user properties uploaded by customer organizations through the platform. The policy asserts that data collected through the platform is processed as a service provider or data processor on behalf of customers, with Amplitude's own use of such data limited to providing and improving the services, which represents a structurally significant carve-out; however, the policy also reserves the right to use aggregated or de-identified platform data for benchmarking and product improvement purposes, and the adequacy of de-identification standards is not specified in the document. The policy engages GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other US state privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Nevada, Oregon, Montana, New Hampshire), identifying Amplitude as a data controller for marketing data and a data processor for customer-deployed analytics data. Material compliance considerations include cross-border data transfer mechanisms for EU/EEA personal data, the dual controller/processor role Amplitude occupies depending on context, and the specific rights afforded to California residents including opt-out of sale or sharing for targeted advertising purposes.

What changed Amplitude updated its Privacy Notice on May 14, 2026, with minor revisions to disclosure language. The primary change involves replacing a reference to PathFactory's privacy practices with an explicit disclosure about ZeroClick, a conversion tracking tool used in Amplitude's advertising. The updated text now states that Amplitude uses ZeroClick to track conversions and website visits from advertisements, and directs users to ZeroClick's privacy practices for more information.
Why this matters The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly discloses that Amplitude uses ZeroClick to track conversions and website visits from advertisements delivered through their ad network. Previously, this specific tracking tool and its purpose were not disclosed in the language provided. The change adds clarity about what advertising-related data collection occurs, and directs users to ZeroClick's separate privacy notice for additional details about how that vendor processes data.
