- Role and Scope of Processing
- Roles of the Parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of this DPA: (i) Customer is the controller with respect to the processing of Customer Personal Data, and Vidyard shall process Customer Personal Data only as a processor on behalf of Customer, as further described in Annex A of this DPA. Any processing by either party of Personal Data under or in connection with the Agreement shall be performed in accordance with Data Protection Laws. However, Customer acknowledges that Vidyard is not responsible for compliance with Data Protection Laws applicable to Customer that are not generally applicable to Vidyard as a service provider.
- Processing Instructions. Vidyard will process Customer Personal Data only in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions and for these purposes, Customer instructs Vidyard to process Customer Personal Data for the purposes described in Annex A of this DPA, unless obligated otherwise by applicable law, including Data Protection Laws. Vidyard shall promptly notify Customer if it makes a determination that Customer’s instructions infringe Data Protection Law(s)) (but without obligation to actively monitor Customer’s compliance with Data Protection Law(s)) and in such event, Vidyard shall not be obligated to undertake such processing until such time as the Customer has updated its processing instructions and Vidyard has determined that the incidence of non-compliance has been resolved.
- Customer Responsibilities. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Personal Data and the means by which Customer acquired Customer Personal Data. Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has provided, and will continue to provide all notices and has obtained, and will continue to obtain, all consents, permissions and rights necessary under applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws, for Vidyard to lawfully process Customer Personal Data for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement (including this DPA and any Sales Order under the Agreement); (ii) it has complied with all applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws in the collection and provision to Vidyard and its Subprocessors of such Customer Personal Data; and (iii) it shall ensure its processing instructions comply with applicable laws (including Data Protection Laws) and that the processing of Customer Personal Data by Vidyard in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause Vidyard to be in breach of Data Protection Laws.
- Subprocessing
- Authorized Subprocessors. Customer agrees that Vidyard may engage Subprocessors to process Customer Personal Data on Customer’s behalf. The Subprocessors currently engaged by Vidyard and authorized by Customer are available here: Vidyard Subprocessor List (or such other URL as may be notified to Customer from time to time). Vidyard shall notify Customer if it adds or removes Subprocessors at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to any such changes if Customer opts-in to receive such notifications for the applicable Services. Customer may opt-in to receive such notifications here: DPA Notice.
- Subprocessor Obligations. Vidyard shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with each Subprocessor containing data protection terms that provide at least the same level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those contained in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Subprocessor; and (ii) remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Subprocessor that cause Vidyard to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
- Objection to Subprocessors. Customer may object in writing to Vidyard’s appointment of a new Subprocessor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection by notifying Vidyard promptly in writing within ten (10) business days’ of receipt of Vidyard’s notice in accordance with Section 4.1. In such case, the parties shall discuss Customer’s concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If the parties cannot reach such resolution, Vidyard shall, at its sole discretion either not appoint the Subprocessor, or permit Customer to suspend or terminate the affected Services in accordance with the Agreement without liability to either party (but without prejudice to Customer’s obligation to pay any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination). If such objection right is not exercised by Customer in the terms defined above, silence shall be deemed to constitute an approval of such engagement.
- Cooperation
- Data Subject Rights. Vidyard shall, taking into account the nature of the processing, reasonably assist Customer to enable Customer to respond to any requests, complaints or other communications from data subjects and competent regulatory or judicial bodies relating to the processing of Customer Personal Data, including requests from data subjects seeking to exercise their rights under Data Protection Laws. In the event that any such request, complaint or communication is made directly to Vidyard, Vidyard shall pass this on to Customer and shall not respond to such communication except to direct the data subject to the Customer (unless required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, including Data Protection Laws).
- DPIAs. To the extent Vidyard is required under Data Protection Laws, Vidyard shall (at Customer’s request and expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding the Services to enable Customer to conduct a data protection impact assessment or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.
- Security
- Security Measures. Vidyard will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect Personal Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of Personal Data, in accordance with the security standards described in Annex B (“Security Measures”). Vidyard will ensure that any person who is authorized by Vidyard to process Personal Data shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).
- Updates to Security Measures. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Vidyard may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not degrade or diminish overall security of the Services.
- Security Incident Response. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Vidyard shall notify Customer without undue delay and shall: (i) provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Customer; and (ii) promptly take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and remediate any Security Incident, to the extent that the remediation is within Vidyard’s control. Vidyard’s notification of, or response to, a Security Incident under this Section 6.3 shall not be construed as an acknowledgment by Vidyard of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.3 shall not apply to Security Incidents to the extent they are caused by Customer.
- Security Reports and Audits
- Audit Rights. Upon Customer’s written request, and subject to obligations of confidentiality, Vidyard will make available to Customer a summary of its most recent Internal Audit Report and/or other documentation reasonably required by Customer which Vidyard makes generally available to its customers, so that Customer can verify Vidyard’s compliance with this DPA. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall exercise its audit rights under this DPA (including this Section 7.1 and where applicable, the Standard Contractual Clauses) by instructing Vidyard to comply with the audit measures described in Section 7.2 below.
- Onsite Audits. While it is the parties’ intention ordinarily to rely on Vidyard’s obligations set forth in Section 7.1 to verify Vidyard’s compliance with this DPA, following a confirmed Security Incident or where a data protection authority requires it, Customer may provide Vidyard with thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice requesting that a third-party conduct an audit of Vidyard’s operations and facilities (“Audit”); provided that (i) any Audit shall be conducted at Customer’s expense; (ii) the parties shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing and duration of the Audit; and (iii) the Audit shall not unreasonably impact Vidyard’s regular operations.
- Return or Deletion of Data
- Upon Customer’s written request, or upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, Vidyard shall destroy or return to Customer the Customer Personal Data in its possession or control in accordance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vidyard may retain Customer Personal Data: (i) as required by any applicable law, including Data Protection Laws; or (ii) in accordance with standard backup or record retention policies, provided that, in either case, Vidyard shall (x) maintain the confidentiality of, and otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of this DPA with respect to, retained Customer Personal Data; and (y) not further process retained Customer Personal Data except for such purpose(s) and eventually delete in accordance with Vidyard’s policies. The parties agree that the certification of deletion that is described in Clauses 8.5 and 16(d) of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be provided by Vidyard to Customer only upon Customer’s written request.
- International Transfers
- Location of Processing. Customer Personal Data that Vidyard processes under the Agreement may be processed in any country in which Vidyard, its Affiliates, partners and authorized Subprocessors maintain facilities to perform the Services. Vidyard shall not process or transfer (directly or via onward transfer) Customer Personal Data (nor permit such data to be processed or transferred) outside of its country of origin unless it first takes such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Data Protection Laws.
- Additional provisions for European Customer Personal Data
- Scope and Role of the Parties. This Section 10 shall only apply with respect to Personal Data subject to European Data Protection Laws.
- Restricted Transfers to Vidyard. The parties acknowledge that Vidyard is located in Canada and Canada has been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission (such adequacy decision is available at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32002D0002). However, the parties agree that where and to the extent the transfer of Personal Data from Customer (as “data exporter”) to Vidyard (as “data importer”) is deemed a Restricted Transfer and European Data Protection Laws require that appropriate safeguards are put in place, such transfer shall be subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses, which shall be deemed incorporated by reference and form an integral part of this DPA, as set out in Annex C. It is not the intention of either party to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses and, accordingly, if and to the extent the Standard Contractual Clauses conflict with any provision of the Agreement (including this DPA) the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.
- Additional provisions for California Customer Personal Data
- Scope and Role of Parties. This Section 11 shall only apply with respect to Customer Personal Data subject to the CCPA. When processing Customer Personal Data subject to the CCPA under this DPA, the parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is a Business and Vidyard is a Service Provider for the purposes of the CCPA. For the purpose of this Section 11, “Business”, “Business Purpose”, “Commercial Purpose”, “Consumer,” “Personal Information”, “Process,” “Sell”, “Service Provider”, and “Share” have the meanings given to them in the CCPA.
- Responsibilities. The parties agree that all Customer Personal Data that is subject to the CCPA is disclosed to Vidyard by Customer for one or more Business Purpose(s) and its use or sharing by Customer with Vidyard is necessary to perform such Business Purpose(s). Vidyard will: (i) Process all Customer Personal Data that is subject to the CCPA as directly related to the relationship with the Customer; (ii) assist Customer in responding to any request from a Consumer to exercise rights under the CCPA; and (iii) not further Collect, Sell, Share or use such Customer Personal Data that is subject to the CCPA except as necessary to perform the Business Purpose(s) or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA.
- Limitation of Liability

- Relationship with the Agreement
- The parties agree that this DPA shall replace any existing data processing agreement or similar document that the parties may have previously entered into in connection with the Services.
