Twilio & the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Twilio’s GDPR commitment

GDPR is an opportunity to build a stronger data protection foundation for the benefit of all. Twilio is committed to ensuring that our platform is GDPR-compliant.

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