Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes the data categories obtained through GitHub SSO authentication and the basis on which Supabase accesses third-party identity data. The scope of data received is determined by the authorization procedures of the SSO provider, not solely by Supabase.

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: SSO data collection engages GDPR Article 6 (lawful basis, likely legitimate interest or contract performance) and CCPA disclosure requirements for categories of data collected. The data categories received via SSO must be included in the privacy notice's enumeration of data sources. Enforcement authorities are EU supervisory authorities and the California Privacy Protection Agency. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. SSO data collection is standard practice; the policy discloses the categories received. Risk is limited to whether the scope of SSO data is proportionate to the service purpose under GDPR data minimization principles. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users should note that SSO data flows from GitHub to Supabase may involve cross-border transfers if either party is outside the EEA. GDPR transfer mechanisms should apply to any such flow. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: No unusual vendor implications. The policy correctly directs users to the SSO provider's privacy notice for the provider's own data practices. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that the categories of data received via GitHub SSO are accurately reflected in data mapping documentation and that the lawful basis for processing SSO-derived data is documented.
