Supabase may receive personal data about you from external marketing and business partners and combine it with what it already has, then use the combined profile to administer services and run marketing activities.
This analysis describes what Supabase'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
The combination of externally sourced data with internally collected data can create detailed user profiles that go beyond what users would expect from signing up for a developer platform, and the breadth of marketing partner involvement warrants scrutiny.
Interpretive note: The policy does not enumerate specific marketing partners or the categories of data received from them, making it difficult to assess the full practical scope of data combination.
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.
