What it is

If you use Notion through your employer or school, your workspace administrator (e.g., your employer) may be able to see, access, and share your Notion content.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Employees using Notion through a workplace account should assume their employer can access all content they create in that workspace, including personal notes, and should avoid storing sensitive personal information there.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Employees and students who store personal notes, private drafts, or sensitive communications in an employer- or school-managed Notion workspace may not have the privacy protections they expect — their organization can access that content.

View original clause language
If you use Notion as part of a workspace created by an organization (such as your employer), the administrator of that workspace may have the ability to access, monitor, use, or disclose data available to you in that workspace. Please refer to your organization's policies for information about how they manage your data in their workspace.
