Summary

This is HubSpot's privacy policy covering how the company collects and uses personal data from visitors to its websites, users of its software products, and contacts of HubSpot customers. The policy authorizes HubSpot to collect identifiers, usage activity, device data, location information, and billing details, and to share this data with service providers, advertising platforms, analytics vendors, social media partners, and resellers for purposes including marketing, product improvement, and fraud prevention. The policy also discloses that HubSpot acts as a data processor for data submitted by its business customers into HubSpot products, meaning data subject rights requests related to that data must be directed to the relevant HubSpot customer rather than to HubSpot directly.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is HubSpot's privacy policy governing the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal data across HubSpot's websites, products, and services, with legal bases including consent, legitimate interests, and contractual necessity as described in the policy. The policy states that HubSpot collects identifiers (name, email address, phone number), company information, billing data, device and browser information, IP addresses, geolocation data, usage and activity data, and content submitted by users, and the terms authorize use of this data for product delivery, marketing communications, analytics, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. The policy discloses data sharing with service providers, advertising partners, social media platforms, resellers, and affiliates, and authorizes cross-border transfers of personal data outside the EEA using mechanisms including Standard Contractual Clauses. The policy engages GDPR for EU and EEA residents, the UK GDPR for UK residents, CCPA and CPRA for California residents, and references additional regional privacy frameworks; the document distinguishes between HubSpot acting as a data controller for visitor and prospect data and as a data processor for customer-submitted data processed within HubSpot's products. Material compliance considerations include the dual controller-processor role, which affects where data subject rights requests are directed, and the scope of marketing data shared with advertising and social media partners, which may require evaluation under GDPR consent and legitimate interest standards.

What changed HubSpot's privacy policy footer navigation was updated on May 14, 2026 to include two new product references ('HubSpot AEO' and 'AEO Sensor') and one new navigation link ('Sustainability'), while also reorganizing some product menu items. These are navigation and menu updates in the footer of the policy document, not changes to substantive privacy terms, data practices, or user rights.
Why this matters This change affects the navigation and product references displayed in the footer of HubSpot's privacy policy document. No substantive privacy terms, data collection practices, rights, or obligations were modified. The updates add navigation links to new products and company information without altering how HubSpot collects, uses, or protects user data.

What changed HubSpot removed 'Privacy Policy' from the navigation submenu under 'Legal Center for Customers' and added it instead under the 'Legal Center for Everyone' submenu on April 29, 2026. This is a navigation and organizational change with no modification to the actual privacy policy text or terms. The substantive privacy commitments and disclosures remain unchanged.
Why this matters This change is a navigation reorganization with no impact on HubSpot's privacy terms, data practices, or consumer rights. The Privacy Policy content remains identical; it has simply been moved to a different location in the Legal Center menu structure. No consumer action is required.
