Common Mistakes

  • 1 Not configuring consent-aware destination filtering, causing data to flow to advertising tools without consent
  • 2 Treating Segment as a single consent category when it routes data to destinations with different requirements
  • 3 Not verifying that the Twilio/Segment DPA covers all connected destinations and their data processing

Compliance Considerations

Acts as a data router, collecting events client-side and distributing them to downstream destinations. Consent requirements are determined by the downstream destinations — advertising destinations require advertising consent. Segment provides consent management integration to filter event forwarding based on consent state. As a Twilio company, verify the DPA covers Segment data processing.
