Slack is on a mission to make people’s working lives simpler, more pleasant, and more productive. To do that, we need to make sure your data is secure, and protecting it is one of our most important responsibilities. We’re committed to being transparent about our security practices and helping you understand our approach.
Slack’s personnel practices apply to all members of the Slack workforce (“workers”)—regular employees and independent contractors—who have direct access to Slack’s internal information systems (“systems”) and/or unescorted access to Slack’s office space. All workers are required to understand and follow internal policies and standards. Before gaining initial access to systems, all workers must agree to confidentiality terms, pass a background screening, and attend security training. This training covers privacy and security topics, including device security, acceptable use, preventing malware, physical security, data privacy, account management, and incident reporting.
