What it is

If you use Asana through your job or an organization, that organization — not you — is in charge of your account. They can cut off your access or delete your data, and Asana will follow their instructions even without telling you.

This analysis describes what Asana'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

If you use Asana as part of a workspace owned or administered by an organization (your employer, for example), that organization is the 'Customer.' The Customer has the ability to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the services, and Asana may take action based on the Customer's instructions without notice to you. The Customer controls the workspace, including all content you submit to it.
