Review notes

  • Source article is brief and does not include product-screen names, exact navigation, or a dedicated how-to documentation link.

  • No explicit rollout timing was provided in the source, so none was added.

What changed

Powtoon updated its Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions to align with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This update means Powtoon now requires explicit consent before sending non-transactional communications. The updated policy is also designed to give users clearer information and more control over how their information is used.

Who gets it

  • New users who sign up for a Powtoon account
  • Users who are asked to set communication preferences during sign-up
  • Accounts covered by Powtoon’s updated Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions

How to use it

  1. Sign up for a Powtoon account.
  2. Review the communication settings shown during sign-up.
  3. Select the communications you want to receive.
  4. Continue with the sign-up flow after you confirm your preferences.

Limits and caveats

  • GDPR consent is required for non-transactional communication.
  • Transactional communications may still be sent when needed for account or service-related reasons.
  • This update describes policy and preference changes; it does not add a separate user setting beyond the sign-up communication prompt described here.
