Frequently Asked Questions

How Your Notion Data Is Accessed

Your Notion data is accessed directly from your device only.

When you authorize access of Notion pages/databases to Notion Widgets, a token is created by Notion to authenticate the access to the pages/databases. This token is stored solely on your device. The Notion Widgets app uses this token to request data directly from the Notion server.

How often do the widgets refresh

The widgets are scheduled to refresh every 10 minutes. Depending on how often you view the widgets, the iOS system might adjust the refresh frequency. If you are on iOS 17, you can manually refresh the widget with the refresh button on the widget.
