The updated policy now explicitly discloses that HubSpot collects Email Engagement Data (such as open, delivery, bounce, and click statuses) from emails sent through its Subscription Services using embedded tracking technologies. This represents formalization of a data collection practice into explicit policy language. However, the policy simultaneously removed a previously stated sentence directing users to a form for removing their personal data from HubSpot's commercial dataset. The updated terms do not indicate an alternative removal mechanism.
