Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“We and our service providers may transfer your personal information to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to those of your home...”
“We may disclose personal information if we believe that disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law or legal process, including lawful requests by public authorities...”
“Medium does not sell your personal information.”
“We share personal information with vendors, service providers, and consultants that need access to personal information...in order to perform services for us, such as companies that assist us with web hosting...”
“If you use our Services to publish content, post comments or send private notes, certain information about you will be visible to others, such as your name, photo, bio, other account information...”
“We may share personal information if we believe that your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, if we believe that you have violated the law...”
Medium's privacy policy explains what personal information Medium collects about you, who it shares that information with, and what rights you have over your data. Medium does not sell your personal information, but it does share it with vendors and service providers, and it may disclose it to authorities when it believes the law requires. You can access, correct, delete, or export your account data at any time through your Settings page, and if you close your account, Medium will delete your data within 14 days.
Medium's privacy policy establishes the categories of personal information Medium collects directly from users (including name, username, bio, email address, and user content), the tracking technologies it deploys (cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers operated partly by third-party analytics providers across Medium and other websites), and the circumstances under which it shares that information with vendors, service providers, law enforcement, or other parties. Medium expressly states it does not sell personal information. The policy sets a 14-day deletion obligation following account closure and grants users self-service rights to access, correct, delete, and export account data through the Settings page. Personal information may be transferred to jurisdictions that do not provide equivalent data protection levels, and Medium and its vendors may scan, analyze, and review user content, messages, AI interactions, and associated metadata.
As a Medium user, your name, photo, and bio become visible to others when you publish content, post comments, or send private notes. Your activity on Medium and other websites is tracked through cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers by both Medium and third-party analytics providers, and your content, messages, and AI interactions may be scanned and reviewed by Medium and its vendors. Your personal data may be stored or accessed in countries with weaker privacy protections than your own. Medium may share your personal information if it believes you have violated its policies or the law, or if disclosure is consistent with legal process or authority requests. One concrete action available to you: you can access, correct, delete, and export your account information at any time by visiting the Settings page.
