Snowflake Privacy Notice

Last Updated: July 1, 2026

This Snowflake Privacy Notice ("Notice") explains how Snowflake Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries operating under the 'Snowflake' brand ("Snowflake", "we", "our" or "us") collect, store, use, disclose and otherwise process information about you in the course of our business, including through our websites that link to this Notice (such as, www.snowflake.com) (the "Sites"), our generally available software-as-a-service offerings hosted by or on behalf of Snowflake (the "Service"), our provision of consulting, configuration or other professional services, support and ancillary services, including, without limitation, services to prevent or address service or technical issues (together with the Service - "Snowflake Offering(s)"), and through other means such as our and our partner's events, sales and marketing activities. This Notice also sets out more information about your privacy rights.

About Our Snowflake Offerings. We provide Snowflake Offerings to our customers under an agreement with them and solely for their benefit. Our customers designate which of their personnel (including third party contractors, agents, etc.) are authorized as users of the customer's Service account ("Authorized Users"). Authorized Users may access and use the Service from all over the world, subject to the agreement between Snowflake and the customer as well as any applicable laws.

This Notice does not apply to the content that our customers and their Authorized Users upload and store in the Service ("Customer Data"). Snowflake processes Customer Data solely on behalf of the customer and that customer is responsible for the collection and use of your data. Because of this, that customer's privacy notice (and not this Notice) will apply to the customer's collection and use of Customer Data. Therefore, for any queries related to your data in Customer Data, you should refer to that customer's privacy notice and direct any queries to them. The customer's agreement with Snowflake governs our use of and processing of Customer Data. For information about our data collection and use regarding Authorized Users' use of our Service see the "When using the Service" sub-section of Section 2 (INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT).
