What we’re doing

We have a data protection core team comprised of senior members of the Legal, Data, Security, and Architecture teams, dedicated to ensuring that Twilio is GDPR‑compliant

We updated our terms for GDPR. We’ve made a new addendum part of our Terms of Service, which reflects GDPR standards.

For every new product and enhancement, we proactively apply the Data Protection by Design principles.

We apply GDPR standards to all data not just EU personal data. That way, you will be well positioned with data protection regulatory frameworks around the world.
