ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Continued use of Snowflake's services after any terms update constitutes acceptance of the new terms, meaning materially different terms can take effect without explicit re-consent or renegotiation, which is particularly significant for long-term enterprise customers.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement authorizes Snowflake to collect Usage Data describing how users interact with the platform and to use that data to operate and improve its services, though the terms state this data will not be disclosed in a form that identifies the customer. Snowflake's financial liability for service outages or data loss is capped at fees paid in the prior 12 months, and the agreement excludes consequential and indirect damages, which means recovery for losses exceeding that cap is not available under these terms. You can review and negotiate a Data Processing Addendum with Snowflake if your organization processes personal data on the platform under GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy frameworks.
