The notice discloses that Twilio uses TrustArc to manage cookie consent, and that a consent banner is presented to users, with Segment analytics configured to load subject to TrustArc consent state via a TrustArc-Segment wrapper.

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.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR for EU/EEA users regarding prior informed consent for non-essential cookies, and CCPA/CPRA for California users regarding opt-out of data sharing. The relevant enforcement authorities include EU supervisory authorities under GDPR and the California Privacy Protection Agency under CPRA. Consent validity under GDPR requires that it be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, which depends on the TrustArc configuration. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The governance exposure arises from the dependency on a third-party consent management platform whose configuration is not fully described in the notice. If the consent banner does not block scripts prior to user consent in EU/EEA jurisdictions, this may not satisfy GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA and UK users face the highest jurisdictional exposure, as GDPR and ePrivacy require granular prior consent for non-essential cookies. California users have opt-out rights under CPRA. The adequacy of the TrustArc implementation for each jurisdiction should be independently verified. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The use of TrustArc as a consent management provider creates a vendor dependency for regulatory compliance. Procurement teams should confirm that TrustArc's configuration is compliant with applicable requirements and that contractual terms with TrustArc address liability for consent management failures. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should conduct a technical audit of the TrustArc banner to confirm that non-essential scripts are blocked prior to consent in EU/EEA jurisdictions, verify that consent records are stored and retrievable, and assess whether the consent categories presented to users are sufficiently granular to satisfy GDPR requirements.
