Why it matters

Understanding IP ownership is important for organizations to ensure that proprietary business information shared on Slack remains their property and is not claimed by Slack.

Consumer impact

If you use Slack through your employer, your organization β€” not you β€” controls your workspace data, including messages and files, and can access or delete them. Slack retains rights to use aggregated and de-identified data derived from your usage to improve its services. You can review Slack's Privacy Policy at https://slack.com/privacy-policy to understand what personal data Slack collects and how it is used.
