Notion's Developer Terms govern the use of Notion's API and developer tools by third-party developers building integrations or applications on top of the Notion platform.
This analysis describes what Notion'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
Developers building integrations with Notion are subject to separate terms that may impose restrictions on data access, storage, and use of content retrieved via the API, which affects both the developers and the end users whose data those integrations access.
Interpretive note: The full text of the Developer Terms is not reproduced in this index document; all characterizations are inferred from the document's structure and standard industry practice for API developer agreements.
Consumers who use third-party applications that connect to Notion via the API should be aware that those applications are governed by Notion's Developer Terms, which may restrict how their Notion data can be accessed, stored, or used by the developer. The full scope of these restrictions requires review of the linked Developer Terms document.
How other platforms handle this
You are responsible for ensuring that your end users comply with these Terms and our usage policies. Any violation of these Terms by your end users will be deemed a violation by you, and we may suspend or terminate your access to the API accordingly.
We may audit your app to ensure compliance with these Terms. You must cooperate with any audit and provide us with information and access to systems, data, and personnel necessary to conduct the audit. You must also maintain records sufficient to demonstrate your compliance with these Terms and prov...

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The Developer Terms engage privacy law to the extent developers access personal data of Notion users via the API, implicating GDPR for EU user data, CCPA for California user data, and FTC Act requirements. Developers building applications that access health, financial, or education data via Notion may face additional sector-specific regulatory obligations. The relevant enforcement authorities include the FTC and applicable data protection authorities. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Developer terms typically impose data minimization, security, and prohibited use obligations on API consumers. Non-compliance by a developer could expose both the developer and Notion to regulatory scrutiny. The specific obligations in Notion's Developer Terms cannot be confirmed from this index page. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA developers building applications that access EU user data via the Notion API face GDPR obligations as independent data controllers or processors. California-based developers or those serving California users should assess CCPA applicability to their use of Notion API data. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that have developed internal Notion integrations or use third-party integrations should verify that those integrations comply with the Developer Terms. Procurement teams assessing third-party Notion integrations should request confirmation of Developer Terms compliance as part of vendor due diligence. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should review the Developer Terms to understand the data access permissions granted via the API, any restrictions on storing or processing API-retrieved data, and the consequences of non-compliance including potential API access revocation. Internal development teams building Notion integrations should confirm their implementation satisfies the Developer Terms requirements.
