What it is

The notice states that the complete Privacy Notice consists of the main page and additional product-specific or region-specific sub-notices, meaning the full scope of data practices applicable to a given user or product context requires review of multiple linked documents.

This analysis describes what Smartsheet'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 that the main notice is not a self-contained disclosure; the operational scope of data collection, use, and sharing obligations for specific products or user groups is distributed across multiple linked documents that must be reviewed collectively to assess compliance.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Jun 5, 2026

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.
