ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision clarifies the operational data governance structure by specifying that Supabase functions as a data processor for Customer Data rather than as a data controller. This allocation of responsibility means that the customer using Supabase's platform—not Supabase itself—bears primary responsibility for data protection obligations and privacy disclosures related to that Customer Data, with Supabase's obligations defined in a separate data processing addendum.

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Individuals whose personal information is included in Customer Data are informed that Supabase's main Privacy Notice does not govern how their data is handled in that context, and they are directed to review the privacy notice of the organization that submitted their data to Supabase. The terms establish that Supabase's data handling practices for Customer Data are governed by contractual instructions from the customer and a separate data processing addendum rather than by this Privacy Notice.
