Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 15, 2026

The updated policy discloses that Supabase may use business contact information, including email domains, to identify organizations for sales and marketing outreach. The policy now explicitly states that personal information will be shared with Customer.io, a marketing communications service provider. For marketing communications, the policy relies on user consent for three purposes: sending marketing messages, using approximate location information to determine relevant communications, and combining personal information from different sources for relevance determination. These three consents operate independently, meaning you can grant or withdraw any of them without affecting the others. You can manage these marketing-related consents separately through the consent mechanisms available in your account or in response to marketing communications.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (Shine the Light), CCPA, and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which expands opt-out rights to include sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General are the primary enforcement authorities. FTC Act Section 5 also applies to deceptive advertising tracking practices. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of tracking tools for personalized advertising engages CPRA opt-out rights and may require a Do Not Sell or Share opt-out mechanism if data is shared with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising. The Privacy Settings tool should be assessed for CPRA compliance. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California-specific obligations are most pronounced. Similar opt-out rights exist under Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other state privacy laws for users in those states, though the policy does not explicitly address these. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertising and analytics partners who receive tracking data may constitute service providers or third parties under CCPA/CPRA, requiring appropriate contractual restrictions. Vendor assessments should confirm that advertising partners are not using data for purposes beyond those disclosed. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should audit the Privacy Settings tool to confirm it provides a fully functional opt-out mechanism for CCPA/CPRA purposes. The categories of advertising and analytics partners receiving tracking data should be disclosed in a CCPA-compliant privacy notice. Annual California Civil Code Section 1798.83 disclosure processes should be documented.
