What it is

Users grant Airtable an irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to access, copy, store, modify, and display all user-uploaded content for purposes including service operation, improvement, and any purpose consistent with the Privacy Policy. The license is granted through multiple sublicensing tiers and does not expire upon user request.

This analysis describes what Airtable's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a broad content license that Airtable holds over all user-uploaded data, including sublicensing rights through multiple tiers and an irrevocable character that persists for the duration of the agreement. Organizations storing sensitive or proprietary data in Airtable should assess this license against their internal data governance and confidentiality frameworks.

Interpretive note: Purpose (iv) defers permissible use to the Privacy Policy, introducing interpretive dependency on the current and future content of that separate document.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement grants Airtable the right to access, copy, modify, and sublicense all content users upload or transmit through the platform, for purposes defined by the terms and by the Privacy Policy. The irrevocable nature of the license means users cannot unilaterally revoke this grant while the agreement remains in effect.
