The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly discloses that Twilio is subject to FTC investigatory and enforcement powers, clarifying the regulatory oversight applying to the company. The policy also establishes an opt-out right allowing users to prevent disclosure of their data to third parties (other than service providers) or use of data for purposes materially different from the original collection purpose. You can exercise this opt-out by contacting Twilio through the mechanisms described in the privacy notice.

You can exercise these choices by contacting privacy@twilio.com.
