TruePrivacy + Notion

Discover personal data stored in Notion databases and pages.

Auth: OAuth 2.0
Setup time: 8 minutes

Overview

Notion is increasingly used as a company wiki and database platform, storing structured data in databases — including HR records, customer contacts, and project data — that often contains personal information. TruePrivacy integrates with Notion to discover personal data stored in Notion databases and pages, adding it to your data inventory.

For companies using Notion as an internal knowledge base and data store, this integration helps ensure that personal data accumulated in Notion databases is not overlooked in the privacy programme.

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect TruePrivacy to your Notion workspace via OAuth 2.0, granting access to the databases to be scanned.

  2. 2

    TruePrivacy scans Notion database properties and page content for personal data patterns.

  3. 3

    Discovered personal data is classified and added to your data inventory.

  4. 4

    High-risk databases (those containing sensitive personal data with broad access) are flagged for remediation.

Frequently asked questions

TruePrivacy can access Notion databases and pages that you explicitly grant access to during the OAuth authorization flow. Notion's permissions model means TruePrivacy only sees content that the authorizing user can access.

TruePrivacy can flag specific Notion database rows for deletion as part of a DSR workflow. Actual deletion requires manual action or a separate automation, as Notion's API does not support bulk delete operations natively.
