ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision places an affirmative advisory obligation on customers regarding data types that should not be stored in Asana, which has implications for acceptable use compliance, liability allocation, and regulated industry customers operating under GLBA or similar frameworks.

⚠

Interpretive note: The advisory uses 'should not' rather than a contractual prohibition; whether this creates an enforceable limitation or merely a recommendation requires review of the full Subscriber Terms and DPA.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that customers are advised not to store financial account numbers and social security numbers in Asana. Under these terms, customers who store such data may be operating outside the scope of Asana's intended service use, which may affect liability allocation under the DPA and applicable agreements.
