By uploading data to Airtable, you grant Airtable a broad, irrevocable, worldwide license to access, copy, store, modify, and use your content to operate and improve its services.
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
The license is irrevocable and sublicensable through multiple tiers, meaning Airtable can pass rights to your content to third-party subprocessors or partners, and the scope extends to service improvement which may include use by AI or analytics systems.
Interpretive note: The license is expressly limited to service purposes and the Privacy Policy, but the scope of 'improve or optimize use of our Services' and 'any other purpose consistent with the Privacy Policy' is broad enough that practical application may vary depending on how Airtable interprets these boundaries.
Any data you upload to Airtable, including business records, personal information, or client data, is subject to this broad license; while the license is stated to be limited to service-related purposes and the Privacy Policy, the irrevocable and sublicensable nature means you cannot unilaterally revoke Airtable's right to use content already processed.
