What it is

Slack shares your personal data with Salesforce and its affiliates for service delivery, product improvement, and marketing, and Salesforce's own privacy statement governs how Salesforce uses that data.

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)

Personal data shared with Salesforce is subject to Salesforce's separate privacy framework, meaning the data leaves Slack's stated privacy commitments and enters a broader corporate ecosystem with its own data use practices.
