Notion AI
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Users retain ownership of their workspace content. Notion's Terms state that content users submit remains the user's property.

De-identified and/or aggregated information may be used for research, internal analysis, analytics. No explicit opt-out for AI training use of workspace content found in the privacy policy. The ToS was a redirect/stub with no substantive content available.
COMMERCIAL
