Handling Disputes relating to our data protection practices
In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve a privacy concern quickly and thoroughly, we provide you with dispute resolution options below. These options differ slightly depending on where you are and which path you choose to take.
Independent Dispute Resolution
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland and are dissatisfied with the manner in which we have addressed your concerns about our privacy practices, you may seek further assistance, at no cost to you, from our designated independent recourse mechanism:
Residents of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland may also elect to arbitrate unresolved complaints. Prior to initiating arbitration for those unresolved complaints, you must:
- (1) contact Twilio and afford us the opportunity to resolve the issue;
- (2) seek assistance from Twilio’s designated independent recourse mechanism above; and
- (3) contact the U.S. Department of Commerce (either directly or through a European Data Protection Authority or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner) and afford the Department of Commerce time to attempt to resolve the issue.
Each party will be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. Please be advised that, while Twilio does not rely on Privacy Shield for cross-border data transfers, this arbitration process is provided through the Privacy Shield framework. As such, the arbitrator(s) may only impose individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to the individual. Twilio is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Data Protection Authorities
Individuals in many jurisdictions around the world have additional rights to make a complaint to a competent data protection authority or commence proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Depending on where you live, you may have the additional right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
In addition, residents of the EEA have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner in Ireland (where our EEA headquarters are based).
