Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

Twilio's Privacy Notice explains how Twilio collects and uses your personal data—including the actual content of communications like emails and texts—to deliver its services, detect fraud, and build unified profiles across your devices. Twilio does not sell your personal data to third parties. If Twilio makes an automated decision about your account, such as approving or suspending it, you have the right to object and request a human review.

Analysis

This Privacy Notice establishes Twilio's data collection, processing, sharing, retention, and automated decision-making practices across its products and services. Twilio collects substantive communications content—including email bodies, text messages, media files, transcripts, and recordings—and uses identity resolution to construct unified cross-device profiles. Twilio trains AI/ML models on collected data for security and fraud detection purposes, makes real-time automated decisions affecting account access, and provides individuals with rights to object to those decisions and request human review. Twilio commits to not selling personal data to third parties, endeavors to retain personal data only as long as necessary for processing purposes, and maintains liability under the EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss Data Privacy Frameworks for downstream third-party violations of DPF Principles.

What this means for you

Twilio collects highly sensitive data including the content of your communications, applies identity resolution to link your activity across devices into a single profile, and uses that data to train AI and machine-learning models for security and fraud detection. Account deletion is permanent and immediately removes access to some or all of your data, with no recovery window. When Twilio makes an automated decision about your account—such as an approval or a fraud-related suspension—you are entitled to notification, the right to object, and the right to request human review of that decision. If you have an unresolved complaint related to the EU-U.S., UK, or Swiss Data Privacy Frameworks, you can contact JAMS, Twilio's designated free dispute resolution provider.

What changed Twilio added two new disclosures to its Privacy Notice: an explicit statement that it is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers, and a new opt-out mechanism allowing users to decline disclosure of their data to third parties (other than service providers) or use for materially different purposes. The company also changed the terminology from 'Data Protection Frameworks' to 'Data Privacy Frameworks' in its dispute resolution section, with no change to the underlying process or provider.
Why this matters The updated Privacy Notice establishes an opt-out mechanism allowing users to decline disclosure of their data to third parties (other than service providers) or use for purposes materially different from the original collection purpose. The notice also explicitly discloses that Twilio is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers. You can exercise this opt-out by following the mechanism described in the updated Privacy Notice.

What changed Twilio expanded its Data Privacy Framework (DPF) disclosures to explicitly state that it and its subsidiary Stytch Inc. are certified under the EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss-U.S. DPF frameworks, and that it remains liable for third-party data processors acting on its behalf. The updated policy also adds specific opt-out rights for data disclosure to third parties and use for materially different purposes, establishes a 30-day acknowledgment timeline for complaints, and clarifies dispute resolution procedures including escalation to the UK Information Commissioner's Office and FTC oversight.
Why this matters The updated terms establish explicit certification under the EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks, meaning Twilio commits to comply with DPF Principles in processing personal data from those regions. The policy now states that Twilio remains liable if third-party processors acting on its behalf violate DPF Principles, unless Twilio proves it was not responsible for the violation. The revised language adds specific opt-out rights: you can opt out of disclosure of your personal data to third parties (other than service providers following Twilio's instructions) or use of your data for purposes materially different from the original collection purpose. For UK residents, the policy establishes a 30-day acknowledgment timeline for complaints and clarifies that unresolved complaints may be escalated to the UK Information Commissioner's Office. You can exercise these rights by contacting privacy@twilio.com.
