Monday.com acts as a data processor for content your employer or team uploads to the platform, meaning your employer's privacy policy governs that data, not monday.com's. Monday.com is only the controller for its own marketing and operational data.
This analysis describes what Monday.com'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
This distinction means individual employees using monday.com through a corporate account should look to their employer's privacy policy for rights over their work data, as monday.com does not act as the controller and this policy does not grant rights over that data category.
If you use monday.com through your employer, your work-related personal data is controlled by your employer, not monday.com, which limits the rights you can exercise directly against monday.com for that data and shifts the privacy accountability to your organization.
