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.
