What changed Databricks updated three contact email addresses in its Terms of Service on June 12, 2026. Child data inquiries now go to privacy@databricks.com instead of a previous address, general terms questions go to legal@databricks.com instead of a previous address, and DMCA copyright notices go to legal@databricks.com instead of a previous address. This change consolidates contact routing for privacy, legal, and copyright matters to standardized corporate email addresses.
Why this matters The updated terms now direct inquiries about child data, terms questions, and DMCA copyright notices to new email addresses: privacy@databricks.com and legal@databricks.com. This is an administrative change to contact routing with no effect on user rights, data handling practices, or service terms. Users who need to contact Databricks on these matters should use the updated email addresses.

What changed Databricks added a new navigation link called 'Additional Billing and Commitment Terms' to its Terms of Service index on May 5, 2026. This change makes a separate billing and commitment terms document more visible and accessible from the main terms page. The practical effect is that users and customers are now more directly pointed toward specific billing and commitment obligations that were previously harder to locate.
Why this matters This change does not alter any substantive terms or create new obligations; it simply makes existing billing and commitment terms more discoverable by adding a direct navigation link. Users who previously had to search for or guess where billing terms were located can now find them more easily from the main terms index. No action is required, but reviewing the linked 'Additional Billing and Commitment Terms' document may help clarify what billing obligations apply to your account.
