What it is

Slack acknowledges that some of its data sharing with advertising and analytics partners may qualify as a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal data under California law, and provides California residents with the right to opt out.

This analysis describes what Slack'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes Slack's baseline data sharing practices under California privacy law and defines the scope of permitted third-party advertising partnerships. It specifies the technical mechanism (Global Privacy Control) through which users can restrict sharing tied to cookie identifiers, establishing the operational framework for user control over behavioral targeting.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are a California resident, Slack may be sharing your data in ways that qualify as a sale under state law, which could affect how advertisers and partners profile you. You can opt out by submitting a request through Slack's privacy portal.

"
Slack does not sell (as such term is defined in the CCPA or otherwise) the personal information we collect (and will not sell it without providing a right to opt out). We may also share personal information (in the form of identifiers and internet activity information) with third party advertisers for purposes of targeting advertisements on non-Slack websites, applications, and services. If you would like to opt-out of sharing activity based on your cookie identifiers, turn on a Global Privacy Control in your web browser or browser extension.
