Monitor Slack compliance pages

Salesforce-owned team messaging platform — channels, DMs, huddles, Canvas, and Workflow Builder for workplace collaboration.

Slack publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Slack as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
