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.
