Vannus has not established which model this vendor runs, and does not infer one. Every finding below is quoted to the vendor’s own document, or marked not disclosed where the vendor publishes nothing. The US-control finding below is the exception: the record places the contracting entity in the United States from the document it cites, but the words that say so are not yet quoted on this page.
- Contracting entity
- Notion Labs, Inc.
- Jurisdiction
- United States
- Governing law
- Laws of the State of California, conflict-of-law provisions excluded; sole venue for all disputes is San Francisco County, California, USA (MSA §13.6 "Governing Law; Venue"). No arbitration clause and no region-dependent entity or law split anywhere in the MSA.
- US corporate control
- The contracting entity is a US entity, so US law may have legal reach over it and the data it controls. the rule

This page gives the finding and links the document it comes from. The AI Subprocessor Jurisdiction Report ($299) quotes the clause this finding rests on, and the clause for each other vendor in your stack where the report can quote one, in one dated document you can hand to an auditor.
Applies to: Enterprise plan workspaces, where Notion's LLM providers keep no data by default; on other plans they keep Customer Data for 30 days or fewer by default. The no-training commitment is stated for Notion AI generally, not scoped to a plan.
From the AI security & privacy help-center article: “By default, Notion and its AI Subprocessors do not use Customer Data to train any models.” notion.com ↗
On retention, from the same help article (dated archive capture of 27 September 2026; an existing capture, none requested by the house): “When using Notion AI, by default our LLM providers utilize zero data retention for Enterprise plan workspaces, so no data is stored with LLM providers.” web.archive.org ↗
Training and retention posture varies by plan. The default-plan row above describes the vendor’s free or standard tier; the paid-plan row is quoted from the document linked beside it. A negotiated contract can override either. Check your own agreement before relying on this.
On U.S. CLOUD Act reach specifically: the statute reaches a provider subject to U.S. jurisdiction over data in its possession, custody or control. Corporate control is a strong indicator of that and it is what we can evidence from published documents — but it is not the whole test. A company founded outside the U.S. can still contract through a U.S. entity or run substantial U.S. operations. Treat this as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.
- 13 Sep 2026 · the record changed. Changed: what the answer depends on. Why: we corrected our reading.

This is the history of our record of this vendor: when we first recorded it; each time one of these changed: the determination sentence, the contracting entity, its country, the governing law, the US-control finding, what the answer depends on, the note beside the finding, or the cited document; and each time the vendor's document was read again and none of them changed. A change only in capitals, punctuation or spacing is not a line, and neither is a first document title. A line names what changed and does not repeat what those fields said before; the determination above says what they say now. Where the determination sentence itself changed, the line shows the earlier sentence too, marked as before, with why it changed. The automated re-check's latest result is not a line here; it is printed beside the clause above. A change here may be the vendor changing its document or us correcting our reading of it, and a line says which only where the record shows it; otherwise it says the cause is not established. Each line is today's reading of the record as it stood on that date. A reading we later found its citation does not carry was withdrawn, and is not repeated here. This history as data.

Vannus records, from the vendor's own published documents, the legal entity a customer contracts with, the country that entity sits in, and the governing law of its terms — and whether the vendor runs its own model or resells someone else's. Each finding is quoted to its source and dated, or marked not disclosed where the vendor publishes nothing. No paid placement on a record, in the catalog or in search — affiliate status is walled off from the record, enforced by a test in the build. See the methodology →
