What it is

Slack shares personal data with its parent company Salesforce and affiliated entities for business operations, product integration, and potentially marketing purposes.

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 the scope of entities within the corporate structure that may access user data under the privacy policy. It expands the class of entities permitted to receive information beyond Slack itself to include related corporate entities under common ownership or control.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your Slack data — including usage patterns and profile information — may be shared with Salesforce and its family of companies, potentially combining your Slack activity with data held in other Salesforce products. This expands the scope of who has access to your data beyond Slack itself.

— Excerpt from Slack's Slack Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Affiliate data sharing between Slack and Salesforce entities must be evaluated under GDPR's purpose limitation and data minimisation principles, and CCPA's definition of 'sharing' with affiliated entities. Procurement teams should assess whether Salesforce's broader data ecosystem is acceptable under their data governance policies.
