Why it matters

Tracking technologies allow Slack and its partners to build profiles of your behavior across the web, which can affect the ads you see and how your data is shared with third-party advertisers.

Consumer impact

Slack collects a wide range of personal data including your messages, files, profile information, location data, and usage patterns, and shares this with service providers, advertising partners, and Salesforce affiliates. While Slack states it does not sell personal data in the traditional sense, it acknowledges that certain data sharing arrangements may qualify as a 'sale' or 'sharing' under California law, which could affect how your data is used for advertising. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data by visiting Slack's privacy settings or submitting a request at https://slack.com/trust/privacy/privacy-policy.

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
    Visit the Slack website and use the OneTrust cookie consent banner to adjust your tracking preferences. You can decline non-essential cookies including analytics and advertising categories.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC regulates deceptive tracking practices and has enforcement authority over companies that fail to honor consumer opt-out preferences for behavioral advertising.
