The updated terms remove a contractual protection that previously prohibited Mixpanel from treating individually identifiable data as Usage Data. Under the revised language, Mixpanel may now classify data that identifies or is attributable to specific individuals as Usage Data, potentially making such data subject to uses and disclosures beyond what the Customer Content exclusion permits. This broadens the category of data Mixpanel may process and analyze under the Usage Data definition. The terms do not provide a mechanism to opt out of this reclassification.
View change record →The updated terms establish an automatic 7% fee increase mechanism that takes effect upon each subscription renewal. Previously, subscription fees remained fixed for the duration of the subscription term, with new pricing becoming effective only at the start of a new subscription term and only if the parties agreed in writing. Under the revised language, fees will now automatically escalate by 7% upon commencement of each renewal term unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing. This shifts the default pricing behavior from fixed-term rates to automatic annual escalation.
