What it is

Notion shares your personal data with advertising companies including Facebook, Google, Twitter, and LinkedIn, which means your use of the app can feed into advertising profiles about you across the internet.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your name, email, device identifiers, and usage behavior may be shared with Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter for advertising purposes, potentially affecting the ads you see across other platforms and services.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Send an email to privacy@notion.so stating that you wish to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal data with third-party advertising partners. Reference your account email address and request confirmation of the opt-out.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Most users expect a productivity workspace to keep their data private, but Notion actively shares usage data with major advertising platforms, creating data flows that extend well beyond the service itself.

View original clause language
We may share your personal information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance. We may also share your personal information with business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.
