This provision establishes that the legal basis for cookie-based tracking on twilio.com is operationally dependent on the TrustArc consent management platform, meaning that the adequacy of consent capture is tied to the configuration and enforcement of a third-party system.
Interpretive note: The specific consent categories, blocking behavior, and jurisdictional configuration of the TrustArc implementation are not fully described in the available document text.
The updated policy establishes a new opt-out mechanism allowing users to decline having their data disclosed to third parties (other than service providers) or used for purposes materially different from the original collection purpose. The policy also explicitly discloses that Twilio Inc. is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers, providing users with notice of the regulatory authority overseeing the company's privacy practices. You can exercise this opt-out right by contacting Segment through the mechanism specified in their privacy policy.
View change record →The updated terms establish clearer disclosure of how Segment transfers personal data internationally. Segment now explicitly certifies its compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and states that these DPF Principles take precedence if they conflict with other policy terms. The updated policy also adds specific rights allowing you to opt out of: (i) disclosure of your personal data to third parties other than service providers acting under Segment's instructions, or (ii) use of your personal data for purposes materially different from the original purpose or your subsequent authorization. You can exercise these rights by contacting privacy@twilio.com.
View change record →The agreement establishes that users can manage cookie preferences through the TrustArc consent interface presented on twilio.com, and that Segment analytics will load conditionally based on the consent state recorded by TrustArc. Users who decline non-essential cookies through this interface may reduce the extent of tracking-based data collection during their visit.
