Notion vs Trello

Notion says disclosure of browsing/device data to ad partners may count as a sale or sharing under privacy laws. For some users, that means their data can be used for targeted advertising unless they actively opt out.

The policy describes extensive automatic collection, including IP address, device identifiers, browsing activity, location, cookies, analytics, and cross-device tracking. That means Notion can build a fairly detailed usage profile.

If you use a workspace tied to an employer or organization, Notion may share profile details and workspace content with that organization. Users in workplace accounts should assume administrators may see a lot.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, and even transfer your data. That gives users real control, though requests can be denied in some cases.

The policy says some users can receive their electronic information in a transferable form, and residents in some places can appeal a denied privacy request. Those are useful enforcement rights if you run into a problem.

Notion keeps data for as long as you use the service and afterward as needed for disputes, audits, legal obligations, and enforcement. That is common, but it means deletion is not immediate or absolute.

Notion may disclose information to service providers, affiliates, business partners, advertising partners, legal authorities, and during mergers or asset transfers. Users should expect substantial third-party access in ordinary operations.

Notion lets users opt out of certain targeted advertising and sale/sharing via settings or a footer link. That helps reduce ad profiling, though it does not stop all advertising or all data collection.

Notion says it does not respond to Do Not Track signals, but it does honor legally recognized browser opt-out signals like Global Privacy Control. That is better than ignoring browser-based privacy preferences entirely.

Notion says it may revise the Privacy Policy in its sole discretion and continued use counts as acceptance after the change takes effect. That gives the company significant power to update terms without individual consent.

The provided Terms of Service summary does not include the actual substantive contract terms, so key issues like arbitration, liability limits, refunds, or termination cannot be assessed from this excerpt. Users should review the full terms before signing up.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you give notice before the term ends. That can lead to unwanted charges if you miss the cancellation window.

If something goes wrong, Atlassian’s liability is generally capped at the fees paid in the prior 12 months. That can leave limited recovery for outages, losses, or service failures.

For an initial order, you can cancel within 30 days for any reason and get a refund. That gives new customers a meaningful trial-like exit option.

After the agreement ends, Atlassian says it will delete customer data according to the documentation, unless law prevents it. That is a useful sign for cleanup and offboarding.

Atlassian can modify the agreement by posting updates, sometimes during your current term. If you object, your main remedy is to terminate the affected subscription and get a refund for unused prepaid fees.

You can terminate for convenience, but you generally will not get a refund except under the initial 30-day return policy. That makes mid-term cancellation financially costly.

The customer is responsible for user compliance, user activity, and how users access customer data. In practice, account admins and employers carry much of the risk for misuse.

The terms say the documentation explains how customers can retrieve their data from the cloud products. That supports portability and offboarding planning.

Atlassian says it maintains security measures and independent third-party audits/certifications. This does not eliminate risk, but it is a concrete security commitment.

The privacy policy says you may object to certain uses and can access or update certain information. That suggests some user control over Atlassian-held personal data.
