Below is a summary of our data privacy practices at Fellow and our privacy policy, worded as simply as possible and designed to help provide you with easy answers to questions you may have about your data and our use of it.

If your organization enters into an MSA (fancy acronym for a contract) with us, our data privacy practices may be additionally governed by other provisions in that agreement.

In short:

  • Your data will not be shared with any individuals except through the permissionning system that makes Fellow magic

    • (e.g. if you send someone feedback, they will see the feedback; or if you take meeting notes with someone in your workspace in the meeting, they can see those notes)

  • We use certain third party service providers to provide our services (e.g. Amazon AWS). Your personal data may flow through their systems.

    • Fellow takes great care in choosing its vendors, and we ensure that the vendors we select are employing the highest security and privacy safeguards to keep your data safe.

    • We do not send any more information to any vendors than minimally necessary in order to provide our services.

  • Aggregated analytics information related to usage statistics and meeting health may be available to others in your workspace through the workspace analytics feature.

    • Note that this does not mean anyone can see the content of your usage.

  • We will not disclose any of your data, unless legally forced to.

    • E.g. to comply with a legal subpoena as part of a national security investigation.
