Below is additional information about what we collect, depending on how you interact with the Service:
“Content” includes all information, data, and other content, in any form or medium, that is collected, downloaded, or otherwise received, directly or indirectly, from you (or on your behalf) by or through the Service. It also includes information you provide when connecting a third-party account, product, or service to the Service. You (and anyone who can interact with your use of the Service) own and control the nature of any Content, subject to any applicable terms and conditions including our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy. Our collection, use, and disclosure practices with respect to Content are distinct from those with respect to other sorts of information, as explained in Section 2.a. below.
We may upload Content automatically with your authorization from third-party services (such as from your Google Drive). See Section 1.c. below.
“Customer Information” consists of information related to your access or use of our Service, the creation of accounts, or that otherwise identifies you as a customer or end user of the Service. Customer Information includes:
Identifiers. This includes your name, mailing address, email address, postal code, telephone number, and other similar identifiers.
Customer Records. This includes username and password, payment information, company name, job title, business email address, and department.
Protected Classification Characteristics. This includes age and gender.
Commercial Information. This includes information about products or services purchased, obtained or considered.
Internet/Network Activity Information. This includes your browsing history, log and analytics data, information about the device(s) used to access the Service, domain server, search history and information regarding your interaction with our Service, and other usage data.
Audio/Visual Information. This includes pictures you provide or upload in connection with our Service, and the content and audio or video recordings of phone or video calls between you and us that we record where permitted by law.
Profession/Employment Information. This includes your current employer, title, and location.
Other Personal Information. This includes personal information you provide to us in relation to a survey, comment, question, request, or inquiry, and information you provide when you connect a third-party account, product or service to the Service.
Inferences. This includes inferring your location using your IP address, or using data from your use of our Service to make predictions about your preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.
If you are an end user using the Service through an account created on your behalf by an Airtable customer (such as an employer, an organization of which you are a member, or another individual), we may collect and process Customer Information about you on behalf of the Airtable customer with whom your use of the Service is associated.
If you create your account using a service provided by a third party such as Google or Apple, or a single-sign-on service provided by a third party such as Okta, we may collect Customer Information about you from the third-party service (such as your username or user ID associated with that third-party service). If you create your account using such a third-party service, or if you give us permission by changing the settings on your Airtable account, we may also collect, and you authorize us to collect, information about your personal contacts as may be stored within that third-party service, which we may use to facilitate your invitation of collaborators to Airtable. By choosing to create an account using a third-party service, you also authorize us to collect Customer Information necessary to authenticate your account with the third party.
Certain aspects of Airtable allow you to link or integrate third-party products and services to enable certain features and functionalities with Airtable. For example, you can connect your Google Drive account to generate Content in Airtable from information and data contained in your Google Drive or integrate with third-party services using Airtable extensions. If you choose to use these features or functionalities, you may be asked to create an account with a third party that provides such features or functionalities or link your existing third-party service account with Airtable (and, by doing so, agree to the privacy policy and/or terms and conditions of that third party). You may also be asked to authorize Airtable to collect information from the third party on your behalf. We will then collect information (such as your username or user ID associated with that third-party service) from you and/or that third party as necessary to enable Airtable to access your data and content stored with that third-party service. Once the authentication is complete, we have the ability to access information you provided to us or was otherwise collected by the third-party service in accordance with the privacy practices of that third party. We will store the information and data we collect and associate it with your Airtable account, and we will use that information and data to enable the integration of Airtable with the third-party service and to perform actions requested or initiated by you, or that are reasonably necessary to carry out instructions provided by you.
We collect information about how you use Airtable and your actions on Airtable, including your IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, ISPs, platform types, device types, and mobile device identifiers such as make and model, and mobile carrier. We may also use tools, including third-party tools, to collect analytics data. Some of this information is collected through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, session replay scripts, and similar technologies. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information about our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we will not use or access your Content except: to provide, maintain, improve, or optimize use of Airtable; where you (or the organization through which you have an account) explicitly approve access (e.g., during a customer support inquiry); in response to lawful requests by law enforcement or government authorities; in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process or requests, as required by applicable law as determined in our discretion; where necessary (in our sole discretion) to ensure the stability and security of Airtable and our systems (e.g., where we have reason to believe specific Content is degrading server stability); and where necessary (in our sole discretion) to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of you, us, or others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that we may retain, take possession of, delete, or deny you access to your Content if we believe, in our sole discretion, that some or all of your Content, or your use of Airtable, violates our Terms of Service. We also may analyze metadata related to Content (such as total number of records, file size, API volume, access logs, etc.).
We use the information we collect for a variety of purposes, and how we use it depends on what we collect and which Service (or features of the Service) you use. These purposes may include:

This includes use for the purpose of: (i) responding to requests or inquiries from you; (ii) providing customer support or technical assistance; (iii) contacting you to provide product updates or information about products you have requested or purchased; (iv) creating, managing, or administering your information and account, including identifying you with your account or the account of an Airtable customer; and (v) auditing relating to interactions, transactions, and other compliance activities.

With affiliates and subsidiaries to provide you with aspects of the Service, such as customer support;

With an employer or other organization (or employees or other Airtable users associated with such an employer or other organization) on whose behalf you use the Service, that created an Airtable account on your behalf, or that owns, manages, or is associated with the email domain for an email address on your account;
With the owner or collaborator of an Airtable workspace to which you have access or on which you are a collaborator as necessary to identify you to such owner or collaborator or enable you to collaborate as intended;

As necessary in the event of a proposed or actual reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, financing, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock;
With others for any legitimate business purpose that does not conflict with the statements made in this Privacy Policy.
We may transfer to and process your personal information in countries outside of the jurisdiction where you are located for the various purposes described above. When required by law, we will ensure that we rely on an appropriate legal mechanism for the transfer, such as your consent, standard contractual clauses (or their equivalent), or adequacy decisions. You may ask us, using the contact information in Section 9 of this policy, for more information about the specific basis we use for transferring your data.
We store your personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal or reporting requirements, and in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate business interests. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data; the purposes for which we process your personal data; and the applicable legal requirements.
You may access, correct, amend, or delete Content within Airtable. You own all Content you upload provided you have lawful title thereto. Content you delete (including Content containing personal information) may be retained in archived or backup copies in order to enable you to use certain features like revision history and base snapshots. For instructions on how to permanently delete Content from your Airtable account, please contact us at privacy@airtable.com. Please note that permanent deletion of Content through this process may impair or disable some features of the Service (such as revision history and base snapshots) with respect to that Content.
We may use some of the information we collect for marketing purposes, including to send you promotional communications about new Airtable features, products, events, or other opportunities. If you wish to stop receiving these communications or to opt out of use of your information for these purposes, please follow the opt-out instructions by clicking "Unsubscribe" (or similar opt-out language) in those communications.
