What it is

When a user registers or associates their Notion account with an employer-provisioned email address, the policy authorizes Notion to share that user's name, email, profile photo, workspace name, workspace ID, membership size, workspace creation date, and workspace content with the associated organization. Users who do not wish for this sharing to occur may transfer their account to a personal email address.

The operational trigger is the email address associated with the account rather than explicit user consent to organizational access.

If you register a Notion account or associate a Notion account with an email address provisioned by your organization, Notion may share information about you and any Workspaces owned or managed by you with your organization. Such information could include your name, email address, and profile picture, as well as the Workspace name, Workspace ID, membership size, creation date of your Workspace, email address, and content within your Workspace with your organization. If you registered to use Notion's Services with such an email address, but you do not use the Services in connection with your organization and you do not wish for this information to be shared with your organization, you may transfer your account to a different email address.
