You can ask Notion to delete your personal data, but Notion can keep it if it says it needs the data for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or contract enforcement.
When you request data deletion, Notion may retain your personal data under broad exception categories, meaning your data may not be fully deleted even after a formal request.

Compare across platforms →The broad exceptions to deletion — including 'resolve disputes' and 'enforce our agreements' — give Notion significant discretion to retain data even after a deletion request, which may frustrate users who expect complete erasure.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure, including legitimate exceptions under Art. 17(3)), CCPA/CPRA §1798.105 (right to delete, with exceptions for legal obligations and security), and UK GDPR Art. 17. The exceptions listed ('legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements') map broadly but imprecisely onto the GDPR Art. 17(3) exceptions.
