Notion vs Zoom

Notion says its disclosures to advertising partners may count as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable law. In practice, your identifiers, usage data, location, and inferences may be used for targeted advertising unless you opt out.

Notion and its partners may connect your activity across websites, devices, or apps. That can make profiling and ad targeting more comprehensive than single-device tracking.

If you use an employer-provisioned email or join an org workspace, Notion may share profile details and potentially workspace content with that organization. That matters if you expect a personally controlled account while using a work email.

Depending on where you live, Notion offers rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object, and in some cases transfer your data. These are meaningful user protections when available.

Notion provides unsubscribe tools, cookie settings, a "Do Not Sell or Share My Info" link, and says it recognizes legally recognized browser opt-out signals like Global Privacy Control where required. That makes privacy choices easier to exercise.

The policy permits collection of device IDs, IP, browser data, usage patterns, cookies, and inferred location, plus data from third parties and integrations. This is a fairly expansive analytics and marketing data footprint for a productivity service.

Notion keeps data for as long as you use the service and as needed for disputes, audits, legal defenses, business purposes, and enforcement. The policy does not provide firm deletion timelines, so information may persist after you stop active use.

Your data may be transferred or sold as part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other asset deal. Users generally do not get an individualized choice about such transfers.

The provided terms page is only a legal-document index, not the actual service contract. Important issues such as arbitration, class-action waiver, liability caps, refunds, and termination rules cannot be verified from this record.

Notion says payment information is stored and processed by third-party payment providers rather than directly on Notion’s services. That can reduce the amount of sensitive payment data Notion itself holds.

Most disputes must be resolved through binding individual arbitration, not court, and class actions are waived. Claims also generally must be brought quickly, reducing users’ leverage in disputes.

Paid plans renew automatically unless cancelled within the notice window, and Zoom can change pricing before the next renewal term. Users who miss the deadline may be locked into another paid term at a new rate.

Payments are generally final and non-refundable during the active subscription term, except where law or the order form says otherwise. That limits flexibility if you stop needing the service mid-term.

Account owners and admins may be able to access participant details, usage data, chats, recordings, transcripts, polls, and other shared content depending on settings. For workplace or school accounts, your organization may have broad visibility into your activity.

The service is provided largely 'as is,' with warranty disclaimers, liability limits, damage waivers, and indemnity obligations. If something goes wrong, your ability to recover from Zoom may be sharply limited.

Zoom says it does not use your meeting communications content—such as audio, video, chat, screen sharing, or attachments—to train Zoom’s or third-party AI models. This is a meaningful privacy commitment for core meeting content.

You keep ownership of your content, but grant Zoom a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable and transferable license for permitted uses. Even if framed around service-related purposes, the license is broad and long-lasting.

Zoom shares data with advertising, marketing, and analytics partners, especially through website cookies and tracking tools. This means your website activity may be used for targeted advertising unless you opt out where available.

Zoom can modify its terms, service descriptions, and related policies, and continued use after changes means acceptance. Some policy changes may occur with little or no direct notice.

Zoom offers access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, and complaint rights in many jurisdictions, and provides tools/contact paths to exercise them. After termination, it also gives a 30-day window to retrieve customer content before deletion protocols apply.

Zoom keeps personal data for as long as needed for services, legal obligations, disputes, and enforcement. This is common, but the policy does not provide tight default deletion timelines for all data.
