No clear statement — assessed 26 Jul 2026

Workspace content is not end-to-end encrypted, so Slack can read it. Across four tracked documents and 73,000 characters, the entire published scanning vocabulary is absent — the single match for “scan” refers to conference badges. Slack also sits in an unusual position: for workplace data it acts as a processor for the employer, who controls the content, which may be why its public documents never address the question. Not named in Commission reporting on the derogation.

What we watch for — Slack has no clear public position. We watch for any statement either way — a scanning disclosure appearing in these documents, or an explicit denial. Either would change this status the day it's published.

text is the extracted record we hash and diff; raw is the page's original HTML kept verbatim as evidence — it renders without its styling here, by design.

App Store privacy label — Slack

Apple requires every app to declare the data it collects. This is Slack's current declaration, as shown on the App Store; ScanRecords records when it changes.

What we searched for

A status that rests on absence is only as good as the search behind it. Every one of Slack's 4 archived documents (73,243 characters) was searched for the same published vocabulary used on every company here — in English, German and French. The search is a plain function of the archived text and re-runs whenever that text changes, so it always describes the documents listed above. Re-run it against this archive yourself with tools/scan-terms.mjs.
