This provision establishes that data subject rights are available under applicable law but subject to stated limitations based on legal requirements or legitimate interests, and that account deletion may result in loss of access to some or all services. The notice directs individuals whose data is processed by Twilio as a data processor to contact the relevant customer rather than Twilio directly.
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.

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.

"Depending on the applicable data protection laws, you may have the following rights in relation to the personal data that we process as a data controller: ... Delete: Request data destruction when no legal or legitimate business reason for retention exists. ... In certain cases, these rights may be limited or an exemption may be applicable, such as where Twilio can demonstrate that it has a legal requirement or legitimate interest to process your data. ... We will not discriminate against you or change the price of our Services if you exercise your rights, but if you ask us to delete your data, it may affect your ability to use our Services.Excerpt from Segment's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR and UK GDPR establish data subject rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, with specific grounds for exemptions and limitations. CCPA and CPRA establish analogous rights for California residents including deletion, access, correction, and portability. Brazil's LGPD establishes rights under Article 18 that the notice specifically references. The notice's limitation clause invoking legitimate interests as a basis for restricting rights may require evaluation against applicable law, as legitimate interest is not uniformly recognized as grounds for limiting all data subject rights across jurisdictions. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The notice provides a comprehensive rights framework aligned with major data protection regimes and discloses limitations. The routing of data processor-related requests to enterprise customers rather than Twilio is consistent with processor obligations under GDPR but may create friction for end users who are unaware of the distinction between Twilio's controller and processor roles. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK residents have the most comprehensive rights under GDPR and UK GDPR. California residents have rights under CCPA and CPRA including the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights, which the notice explicitly addresses. Brazilian residents are directed to contact the DPO at privacy@twilio.com to exercise LGPD Article 18 rights. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers who receive data subject rights requests from end users that relate to data processed by Twilio as a processor must have procedures in place to route requests to Twilio under their DPA. The notice's statement that processor-related requests will be directed to the customer places the operational burden on enterprise customers to maintain appropriate request handling procedures. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that data subject rights request workflows correctly route controller and processor requests. For EU and UK organizations, verification that Twilio's identity verification requirements for rights requests are proportionate and do not create undue barriers is warranted. Brazilian organizations should confirm that the DPO contact at privacy@twilio.com is operationally responsive for LGPD Article 18 requests.
