Summary

This is Smartsheet's Privacy Notice, covering how the company collects and uses personal data from visitors to www.smartsheet.com and users of its work management platform. The notice authorizes collection of identifiers, device information, usage activity, location-inferred data, and payment information, and permits sharing with advertising, analytics, and third-party service providers. For enterprise customers, the notice acknowledges Smartsheet may act as a data processor handling content uploaded by business users, with the terms of that processing governed separately by customer agreements.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

The Smartsheet Privacy Notice governs how Smartsheet Inc. collects, uses, shares, and retains personal data across its website (www.smartsheet.com) and associated services, with stated legal bases including consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests, and legal obligations depending on jurisdiction. The notice states that Smartsheet collects identifiers, contact details, account credentials, device and usage data, location-inferred data, payment information, and content data submitted through the platform, and authorizes sharing with service providers, advertising and analytics partners, corporate affiliates, and business transaction parties. The notice discloses a layered structure composed of a main page and additional product-specific or region-specific sub-notices, which means the full scope of data practices may require review across multiple linked documents rather than a single instrument. The notice engages GDPR and UK GDPR for EU and UK residents, CCPA and CPRA for California residents, and references additional regional frameworks, with Smartsheet acting as a data controller for site and marketing data and as a data processor for customer-uploaded content processed on behalf of enterprise clients. Compliance teams should note that the processor-controller distinction has material implications for data subject rights fulfilment, contractual obligations with enterprise customers, and the scope of Smartsheet's direct regulatory obligations under applicable data protection law.

What changed Smartsheet updated its privacy policy on June 9, 2026 to clarify corporate structure and Data Privacy Framework participation. The policy previously stated that 'Smartsheet and its U.S. affiliates' participate in the EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss Data Privacy Frameworks. The updated language now specifies 'Smartsheet Inc.' and adds an explicit list of four U.S. affiliates that adhere to the DPF Principles: Artefact Product Group LLC (dba 10,000ft), Brandfolder Inc., On Brand Holdings Inc. (dba Outfit), and TernPro Inc. (dba Slope). This change provides clearer identification of which legal entities within the Smartsheet corporate group are responsible for complying with data transfer frameworks.
Why this matters The updated policy clarifies the corporate structure and identifies specific U.S. entities within the Smartsheet group that are responsible for complying with international data transfer frameworks. Previously, the policy referred to 'Smartsheet and its U.S. affiliates' in general terms; the updated language now explicitly names Artefact Product Group LLC (10,000ft), Brandfolder Inc., On Brand Holdings Inc. (Outfit), and TernPro Inc. (Slope) as entities bound by the Data Privacy Framework Principles. This provides greater specificity about which entities handle personal data subject to cross-border transfer protections.

What changed Smartsheet modified a single sentence in its Privacy Policy on June 5, 2026 describing which entities participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The updated language specifies that 'Smartsheet and its U.S. affiliates' participate in the framework, whereas the previous version stated 'Smartsheet and its affiliates' without the geographic qualifier. This change narrows the scope of framework participation to U.S.-based affiliates only, which may affect how personal data transfers are handled for non-U.S. affiliated entities.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy states that only Smartsheet's U.S.-based affiliates participate in the EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Previously, the policy referenced participation by Smartsheet and its affiliates without geographic qualification. This narrowed scope may affect the data transfer mechanisms available for processing personal data from EU, UK, and Swiss users if non-U.S. affiliates are involved in data handling. The policy does not explicitly describe alternative transfer mechanisms for non-U.S. affiliates.
