    I doubt that most corporations would even consider allowing Slack as a trusted app if they weren’t hosting their own instances themselves.

    I have to assume that this training is exclusively on instances hosted on Slacks’ servers. So probably lots of smaller businesses that don’t know any better. And this was probably agreed to in the ToS as part of utilizing free and easy to set up cloud servers.

        Ahh, looked at it and you’re right. They have an “Enterprise” version which seems like it’s security conscious.

        Still, I stand by my original assertion. I have worked for FAANG companies with completely locked down security that allowed us to use Slack. I would be extremely surprised if their contract with Slack didn’t ensure complete data privacy.

        We’re talking about companies where a product leak makes international news. There is zero chance Slack employees have access to communications.

          Sure, even though Slack itself admits so in their privacy policy.
