Salesforce Affiliate Data Sharing

Share š• Share in Share

Why it matters

As a Salesforce subsidiary, Slack may share your data across a large corporate ecosystem, meaning your Slack data could inform Salesforce CRM profiles and other products you may not be aware of.

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.
