  • 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.
