SSO authentication means Supabase receives profile data from your third-party accounts (such as GitHub) as part of login, and users should be aware of what data is shared during that authentication flow.
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.

"We use single sign-on ("SSO") such as GitHub to allow a user to authenticate their account using one set of login information. We will have access to certain information from those third parties in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by those third parties, including, for example, your name, username, email address, language preference, and profile picture. We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service.
