What it is

If someone sends you a Calendly booking link and you use it to schedule a meeting, Calendly collects your personal information even if you have never signed up for Calendly yourself.

This analysis describes what Calendly'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)

Most people assume they only share data with services they have actively signed up for; this provision means Calendly may have your data simply because a colleague or business contact uses the platform.

Interpretive note: The exact verbatim language describing invitee data collection was not fully reproduced in the truncated document; the summary is based on standard Calendly privacy notice provisions and contextual signals in the document.
