Snowflake's legal framework consists of a base Terms of Service supplemented by multiple addenda and product-specific terms, including separate documents for AI Features, Marketplace, Data Clean Rooms, Crunchy Bridge, U.S. Government use, and technical services, each of which may impose distinct obligations on customers.
This analysis describes what Snowflake's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This layered structure establishes that the operative terms governing any specific customer's use of Snowflake may span multiple documents. Compliance teams must identify which addenda apply to their specific product deployments, as obligations under data processing, security, acceptable use, and AI governance may differ materially across the document set.
The updated Privacy Notice no longer includes explicit language stating that users 'may unsubscribe through unsubscribe links at any time.' This removal means the document no longer contains that specific commitment to unsubscribe availability. The updated terms still reference a Privacy Notice governing data processing and retain cookie-related disclosures, but the removal of the unsubscribe guarantee eliminates a documented mechanism users may have relied on. You can review the full Privacy Notice to understand current communication and preference management options.
