The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Clause 8

Data protection safeguards

The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.

 

8.1   Instructions

  1. The data importer shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data exporter. The data exporter may give such instructions throughout the duration of the contract.
  2. The data importer shall immediately inform the data exporter if it is unable to follow those instructions.

 

8.2   Purpose limitation

The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex F, unless on further instructions from the data exporter.

 

8.3   Transparency

On request, the data exporter shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by the Parties, available to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including the measures described in Annex D and personal data, the data exporter may redact part of the text of the Appendix to these Clauses prior to sharing a copy, but shall provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to understand the its content or exercise his/her rights.

In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In case of pseudonymisation, the additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall, where possible, remain under the exclusive control of the data exporter. In complying with its obligations under this paragraph, the data importer shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex D. The data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate level of security.
  2. The data importer shall grant access to the personal data to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for the implementation, management and monitoring of the contract.

Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide all information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
  4. The data importer shall cooperate with and assist the data exporter to enable the data exporter to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in particular to notify the competent supervisory authority and the affected data subjects, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the data importer.

8.8   Onward transfers

The data importer shall only disclose the personal data to a third party on documented instructions from the data exporter. In addition, the data may only be disclosed to a third party located outside the European Union (in the same country as the data importer or in another third country, hereinafter ‘onward transfer’) if the third party is or agrees to be bound by these Clauses, under the appropriate Module, or if:

 

  1. the onward transfer is to a country benefiting from an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the onward transfer;
  2. the third party otherwise ensures appropriate safeguards pursuant to Articles 46 or 47 Regulation of (EU) 2016/679 with respect to the processing in question;

  1. The data importer shall promptly and adequately deal with enquiries from the data exporter that relate to the processing under these Clauses.
  2. The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. In particular, the data importer shall keep appropriate documentation on the processing activities carried out on behalf of the data exporter.
  3. The data importer shall make available to the data exporter all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in these Clauses and at the data exporter’s request, allow for and contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by these Clauses, at reasonable intervals or if there are indications of non-compliance. In deciding on a review or audit, the data exporter may take into account relevant certifications held by the data importer.
  4. The data exporter may choose to conduct the audit by itself or mandate an independent auditor. Audits may include inspections at the premises or physical facilities of the data importer and shall, where appropriate, be carried out with reasonable notice.
  5. The Parties shall make the information referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c), including the results of any audits, available to the competent supervisory authority on request.

Clause 9

Use of sub-processors

  1. The data importer has the data exporter’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processor(s) from an agreed list. The data importer shall specifically inform the data exporter in writing of any intended changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least 1 hour in advance, thereby giving the data exporter sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the sub-processor(s). The data importer shall provide the data exporter with the information necessary to enable the data exporter to exercise its right to object.
  2. Where the data importer engages a sub-processor to carry out specific processing activities (on behalf of the data exporter), it shall do so by way of a written contract that provides for, in substance, the same data protection obligations as those binding the data importer under these Clauses, including in terms of third-party beneficiary rights for data subjects. The Parties agree that, by complying with this Clause, the data importer fulfils its obligations under Clause 8.8. The data importer shall ensure that the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the data importer is subject pursuant to these Clauses.
  3. The data importer shall provide, at the data exporter’s request, a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the data exporter. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including personal data, the data importer may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing a copy.
  4. The data importer shall remain fully responsible to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under its contract with the data importer. The data importer shall notify the data exporter of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its obligations under that contract.
  5. The data importer shall agree a third-party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby – in the event the data importer has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent – the data exporter shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data.

Clause 14

Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses 

  1. The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
  2. The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the following elements:
  1. the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
  2. the laws and practices of the third country of destination – including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards;
  3. any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination.
  1. The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
  2. The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
  3. The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a). 
  4. Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed by the competent supervisory authority to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses.

Clause 16

Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination 

  1. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.
  2. In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).
  3. The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where:
  1. the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension;
  2. the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or
  3. the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding its obligations under these Clauses.

The same shall apply to any copies of the data. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and for as long as required under that local law.
  2. Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the personal data is transferred.

ANNEX F: Description of transfer

 

Categories of data subjects whose personal data is transferred

Data subjects include the data exporter’s users, employees and third parties with whom it has, or may develop, a commercial relationship.

 

Categories of personal data transferred

Any personal data provided to the data importer, by or at the direction of the data exporter.  

 

Sensitive data transferred 

Special categories of data may be transferred by the data exporter to the data importer through the uploading of video or audio files or other data on to the data importer’s website. Where the data exporter transfers any special categories of personal data to the data importer, the data exporter shall have obtained explicit consent from the data subjects of the special categories of data to process such data about them and for the data importer to process that data in the EU and/or in third countries. Data subject’s explicit written consent which the data exporter obtain must be supplied to the data importer on the data importer’s request. If a data subject does not give explicit written consent to the processing of their special categories of personal data, then their special categories of personal data must not be supplied to the data importer. 

 

Any special categories of data transferred by the data exporter to the data importer shall be processed only for the performance of the terms of sale for business clients for paid services entered into between the data exporter and Veed Limited.

 

The frequency of the transfer 

Personal data is transferred on a continuous ongoing basis.

 

Nature of the processing

The data importer will process personal data for the purpose of providing the data exporter its services in accordance with and as described in the Master Agreement, and as instructed by the data exporter from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the data importer will process personal data for data analytics purposes amongst other purposes. 

 

Purpose of the data transfer and further processing

Processing by the data importer as necessary to provide its services pursuant to the Master Agreement (as defined under the data processing agreement signed between the Parties).

 

The period for which the personal data will be retained, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

The personal data will be retained for the term of the Master Agreement and the data processing agreement signed between the Parties, plus the period from expiry of the term of the Master Agreement and the data processing agreement until the anonymization, return, or deletion of data in accordance with the data processing agreement, and any further period in which the data exporter wishes to or continues to receive the Provider’s free services after the termination or expiry of the Master Agreement. 

 

For transfers to (sub-) processors, also specify subject matter, nature and duration of the processing

The data importer may engage sub-processors, to process data transferred by the data exporter to the data importer, as necessary to provide its services pursuant to the Master Agreement (as defined under the data processing agreement signed between the Parties) for the period of the Master Agreement and any further period in which the data exporter wishes to or continues to receive the Provider’s free services after the termination or expiry of the Master Agreement.

 

ANNEX G: Competent Supervisory Authority

The competent supervisory authority in accordance with Clause 13 shall be the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Marketing 

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. 

Promotional offers from us

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). 

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-party marketing 

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes. 

Opting out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you (where such links are available) or by contacting us at any time. 

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a service purchase, service experience or other transactions.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Applications may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see https://veed.webflow.io/cookie-policy.

Change of purpose 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. 

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Automated decision-making

Automated decisions are made by technological means, mostly based on algorithms subject to predefined criteria. Such automated decision-making, taken solely by technological means without any human intervention, may have legal effects or similarly significant effects on you. 

By using the Applications and/or our services, you are giving us your explicit consent to make automated decisions. If you do not consent to our making automated decisions, you must not use our Applications or services.   

The Applications may use your personal data decisions entirely or partially based on automated processes according to the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. The Applications adopt automated decision-making processes as far as necessary to enter into or perform a contract between you and us, or on the basis of your consent where consent is required by the law.

The rationale behind the automated decision-making is:

  • so that we can suggest certain settings or tips when you use our services; 
  • to enable or otherwise improve the decision-making process;
  • to grant you fair and unbiased treatment based on consistent and uniform criteria;
  • to reduce the potential harm derived from human error, personal bias and the like which may potentially lead to discrimination or imbalance in the treatment of individuals etc.; or
  • to reduce the risk of your failure to meet your obligation under your contract with us. 

Your rights as a result of automated decision-making 

Where you are subject to automated decision-making processes, you are entitled to exercise specific rights aimed at preventing or otherwise limiting the potential effects of the automated decisions taken.

In particular, you would have the right to:

  • obtain an explanation about any decision taken as a result of automated decision-making and express your point of view regarding such decision; 
  • challenge such a decision by asking us to reconsider a decision or take a new decision on a different basis; or
  • request and obtain from the Owner human intervention on such processing.

Please contact us if you want to find out more about the purposes, the third-party services we use which makes automated decisions (if any), and any specific rationale for automated decisions used within the Applications.

Push notifications and email notifications

The Applications may send you push notifications and we may send you email notifications to achieve the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. 

You may, in most cases, opt-out of receiving push notifications by visiting your device settings (such as the notification settings for mobile phones and then change those settings for the Applications).

Note that disabling push notifications may negatively affect your use of the Applications.

You may also, in most cases (except where we send you email notifications for the purposes set out in the table in section 4 above), opt-out of the email notifications we send by contacting us, clicking the “Unsubscribe” button at the end of our emails or by managing your communication preferences on the Applications.

  1. Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table under the “purposes for which we will use your personal data” section above.

  • Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy. 

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

  1. International transfers

Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK and/or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK and/or the EEA. 

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: 

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK or the European Commission (as applicable). 
  • If we transfer your personal data to any other country which is not subject to an adequacy decision of the UK or the European Commission (as applicable) regarding an adequate level of protection of personal data, we will ensure that there is a legal basis and, if required, a relevant safeguard method for such data transfer so that your personal data are treated in a manner that is consistent with, and respects the applicable laws and regulations on data protection in the UK or the EEA (as applicable).
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK or the European Commission (as applicable) which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK or the EEA (as applicable).  

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK or the EEA.

  1. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

  1. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

You can request details of our retention periods for different aspects of your personal data by contacting us. 

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data; see “your legal rights” section below for further information. 

Where we use universally unique identifiers (“UUID”) for analytics purposes or for storing your preferences, a UUID is generated upon your installation of our programme(s). The UUID persists between our programme’s launches and updates, but it is lost when you delete our programme. A new UUID will be generated when you reinstall our programme.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. 

  1. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. 

Broadly, you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. 
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: 
  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. 
  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. 


Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

  • OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

On our website (Veed.io), related subdomains, and software applications (together the “Applications”), we have set out information and details relating to: 

  1. various online video creation, editing, sharing and hosting services which we make available via the Applications (together the “Services”); and 
  2. the fees payable for the Services which is dependent on your choice of plan among the different options as to plans available to you (“Subscription Fee”).

The Services available to you as a registered user on the Applications will vary depending on your choice of plan among the different options of plans available to you. 

  1. Your subscription: When you register for an account with us to use the Services, you are subscribing to the Services. You are agreeing to these Terms by subscribing to the Services. The Services available to you and Subscription Fee (if any) applicable to your subscription are set out in the Applications. 
  2. How we will accept your subscription: If no Subscription Fee is payable on your subscription, our acceptance of your subscription will take place as soon as you register for an account with us to use the Services, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us in respect of the Services that you have subscribed to in that subscription. If a Subscription Fee is payable on your subscription, our acceptance of your subscription will take place when you have provided valid account details (including billing and contact details) and we indicate that we accept your subscription via the Applications. At the point of our accepting your subscription, a contract will come into existence between you and us in respect of the Services you have purchased from us in that subscription. Our acceptance of each subscription made is each a “Contract”.
  3. If we cannot accept your subscription: If we are unable to accept your subscription, we will inform you of this either via the Applications or in writing and will not charge you for the Services. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, or because we have identified an error in the Subscription Fee or in the description of the Services, or for other reasons.
  4. Promotional materials: Any free-sessions, demos, or advertising issued by us (including, in particular, via the Applications), and any descriptions or illustrations provided by us in relation to our business, or the Services, are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services described in them. These will not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
  • YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION 

We hope to accommodate as many user requests as possible but we are typically unable to accept change requests to individual subscriptions. We appreciate this may cause you to become dissatisfied with our Services. If this situation does unfortunately arise then you may want to cancel your subscription (see clause 7 below).

  • WE MAY MAKE CHANGES TO OR SUSPEND OR WITHDRAW THE SERVICES

Suspension of the supply of Services: We may suspend the supply of the Services temporarily: 

  1. to update and change the Applications to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or 
  2. to implement technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat or add functionality; or 
  3. if you are paying for the Services and we have not received a payment that is due; or 
  4. if you breach these Terms; or
  5. if you fail to give required information to us (see clause 3.3); or
  6. if you use the Services in a way that is prohibited or unacceptable (see clause 8); or
  7. for other unforeseen reasons which may delay the delivery of the Services.

We aim to contact you as soon as practicable to tell you why we are suspending the supply of the Services and explain when and/or how such suspension will cease.

  • Withdrawing the Services and/or terminating the Contract: We may withdraw the Services and/or terminate the Contract: 
  1. if you fail to give required information to us (see clause 3.3); or
  2. when we have not received your payment (see clause 4.1); or 
  3.  if you use the Services in a way that is prohibited or unacceptable (see clause 8); or 
  4. if you breach these Terms (see clause 10); or
  5. for any other reasons specified in these Terms.

Subject to clauses 4, 8 and 10, we may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Services and/or terminate the Contract. We will let you know at least 24 (twenty-four) hours in advance of our stopping the supply of the Services and/or terminating the Contract and will refund, pro-rata (where applicable), any sums you have paid in advance for the Services in respect of the period after we end the contract. 

  1. If you do not give required information to us: We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Services to you. If so, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of our asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may suspend the Services and/or terminate the Contract.
  2. Interruptions and errors in the Applications: We do not guarantee that the Applications, any content contained in the Applications, or the Services delivered, will always be available or be uninterrupted or error-free. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of the Applications, or the Services for business or operational (including technical) reasons. We aim to give you reasonable notice of any such suspension or withdrawal or restriction. 
  3. No liability for Services that we cannot provide due to an event outside of our control: If any suspension, withdrawal, or restriction to the Services is pursuant to an event outside our control, we will not be liable to you for any period during which the Applications and/or the Services are not available pursuant to such an event. 
  • OUR RIGHTS TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT OR SUSPEND THE SERVICES
  1. When we have not received your payment: Where we do not receive your payment as it becomes due, then without prejudice to our right to charge interest as per clause 5.5, we reserve the right at our sole discretion to suspend the supply of the Services until we have received the payment that is due to us and/or terminate the Contract without notice. 
  2. What we usually do to receive your payment: We usually take payment from you using the billing information you supplied to us via the Applications. In the event such transaction fails, we usually contact you by email about the failed transaction and ask that you update your billing information via the Applications. We would usually attempt to take that payment from you again, using your then current billing information supplied to us, once a day for the next 5 days or until we receive your payment. After each failed transaction during those 5 days, we would usually contact you by email about the failed transaction and ask that you update your billing information via the Applications. 
  • SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PAYMENT AND RENEWALS
  1. The types of subscriptions that we offer: In addition to making certain Services available to you for free (where available), we also offer you the choice of paying for Services in accordance with the different plans available to you as set out on the Applications.
  2. Where to find the Subscription Fee for the Services: The Subscription Fee for the Services (which includes Value Added Tax (VAT) if applicable) will be the price indicated when you make your subscription. We take reasonable care to ensure that the Subscription Fee for the Services advised to you is correctly reflected in the payment process. However, please see clause 5.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the Subscription Fee for Services you subscribe to.
  3. What happens if the Subscription Fee or Services were conveyed incorrectly: It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services may be incorrectly priced. If the Services’ correct price at your subscription date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your subscription. If we accept and process your subscription where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract and refund you any sums you have paid under the Contract.
  4. When you must pay and how you must pay: You must pay the Subscription Fee in accordance with the payment process and payment methods made available to you on the Applications which may be provided by our processing partners. To receive the full value of the Services for your subscription, you would have to pay us in full and in advance of our supplying the Services, either monthly or annually as agreed.
  5. We can charge interest if you pay late: If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on any overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England current from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment, such interest to accrue and be added to the overdue amount on the 1st day of each month. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
  6. What to do if you have been charged incorrectly: If you think you have been charged incorrectly, please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we may charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums, on the basis explained in clause 5.5, from the original due date.
  7. Automatic renewals: A Subscription Fee automatically renews monthly or annually depending on the payment frequency you chose and shall continue until it is cancelled in accordance with these Terms. See clause 7 below.
  • CHANGES TO A SUBSCRIPTION
  1. Changes in price or length of a subscription: Subscription Fee may change. The price in place when you made your initial purchase or when your Subscription Fee last renewed will stay in effect for the duration of that subscription period (e.g. monthly or annually, as applicable), but new prices may apply to any renewals or any new subscriptions. We will give you reasonable notice of any change in the price or length of a subscription available. If you do not want to renew your subscription under any new prices or any change in the length of a subscription period, you may cancel your subscription in accordance with these Terms (see clause 7 below).
  2. Changes to the Services supplied under a subscription: It may be necessary to change the Services supplied under a subscription from time to time. Should this happen, we aim to give you reasonable notice of any such changes. If you are not content with the changes, and the changes are material and not minor, you may cancel your subscription and we will refund you pro-rata (where applicable) for any unused but prepaid period of your subscription.
  • HOW YOU CAN CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
  1. Tell us you want to cancel your subscription: You may cancel your subscription at any time via the Applications. If this fails for any reason please get in touch with our Customer Support team either via the chat feature in the application or send us an email at [email protected].  
  2. Where you are using our free Services: If you are a registered user making use of our free Services (if available), clause 7 (save for this clause 7.2) shall not be applicable. You may stop your use of the Services at any time.
  3. Refunds: We are not obliged to offer refunds should you change your mind and wish to terminate the service after you have subscribed and used the Services. If you are a consumer (ie, you are using the Services for purposes which are wholly/mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession) and you have paid for the services but have never used them (where usage includes uploading media, editing media, adding subtitles among other things) and you are still within the first 14 days of your subscription, if you have changed your mind and you cancelled your subscription via the Applications as described in clause 7.1, or sent us your completed cancellation form (see Schedule 1) to [email protected], we will refund you in full for the applicable Services under your subscription. Note the following when exercising your right to change your mind as a consumer: 
    you do not have a right to change your mind once we have supplied you with the Services (i.e. you have used the Services), even if the 14 day period is still running; and 
    if you cancel your subscription, during the 14 day period, after we have started supplying the Services (i.e. you have used the Services), any Subscription fee paid or payable remains paid or payable and you will not be entitled to any refund for the applicable Services under your subscription.  
  4. Cancellation of renewals: A subscription to Services may be cancelled at any time prior to two (2) business days before the applicable renewal date and your subscription will expire at the end of the applicable subscription period. You may continue to benefit from the Services up until that date. If you do not cancel your subscription prior to two (2) business days before your renewal date, we will renew your subscription per your last subscription and it will expire at the end of that following subscription period. Subject to clause 5.3, cancellations of subscriptions are not eligible for a refund unless otherwise specified in these Terms. Following cancellation, you can remain a registered user and continue to use our free Services (if available).
  • ACCEPTABLE USE

What happens if you use the Services in a way that is prohibited: Notwithstanding any other clauses in these Terms, failure by you to comply with our [Terms of Use], constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in the immediate, temporary, or permanent suspension of the Services or termination of Contract. In the event of such suspension or termination, no refund will be available to you and we will not be liable to you for any fees paid by you in respect of Services paid for but not received.

  • PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
  1. You acknowledge and agree that we and/or our licensors own intellectual property rights in original work in the Applications and the Services.

  • OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

This section of the Terms is important. Please take your time and read it carefully before you agree to these Terms.    

  • We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so: This includes any liability on our part for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for breach of your statutory rights in relation to the Services.

Loss or damage is indirect if the act or omission on our part was not the proximate cause of that loss or damage. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen, or if, at the time you accepted the Terms, both we and you knew it might happen. In particular, we shall not be liable for indirect loss or damage including:
  1. loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue;
  2. business interruption;
  3. loss of anticipated savings;

This document informs Users about the technologies that help this Application to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User’s device as they interact with this Application.

For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate.
For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker.

Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.

This Application uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.

In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specification as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Trackers - in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.

It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored Trackers, including those used to remember the User’s initial consent.

Other Trackers in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history.

Please use the Glossary to understand the meaning of some of the terms used in this privacy policy.

  1. Important information and who we are

Purpose of this privacy policy

This privacy policy aims to give you information on how Veed collects and processes your personal data through your use of the Applications and our services, including any data you may provide through the Applications (for example, when you chat with us on our “support chat” function available through our website (www.veed.io)), create an account with us, purchase a service or upload and edit audio or video files. 

The Applications are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. 

It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them. 

Controller

Veed Limited (collectively referred to as “Veed”, "we", "us" or "our" in this privacy policy) is the controller and responsible for your personal data, except where we process your personal data because you use our services as a result of your relationship with a customer who we supply our services to (for example, if you use our services as a result of your being our customer’s employee or client). 

We have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact the data privacy manager using the details set out below. 

Where we process your personal data because you use our services as a result of your relationship with a customer who we supply our services to, we are not the data controller as we would be processing personal data on behalf of our customer as a data processor.  

Where we are processing your personal data on behalf of our customer, the privacy policy that you should be referring to would be our customer’s privacy policy. Our customer’s privacy policy should inform you as to how your personal data will be processed.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our privacy practices, please contact our data privacy manager in the following ways:

Full name of legal entity: Veed Limited

Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. Historic versions (if any) can be obtained by contacting us.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

The Applications may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications.

  1. The personal data we collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data includes first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, marital status, title, date of birth, gender and visual and/or audio identifiers.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, email address and telephone numbers.
  • Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details.
  • Transaction Data includes details about payments to and from you and other details of services you have purchased from us.
  • Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, other technology on the devices you use to access the Applications, and information in or about the audio or video files you provide (including metadata), such as the location of a video or the date it was created. 
  • Profile Data includes your username and password, purchases or orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.  
  • Usage Data includes information about how you use the Applications and services.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not ask you for any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we ask you for any information about criminal convictions and offences.  

You may choose to provide us with Special Categories of Personal Data through your uploading of video or audio files or other data on to the Applications. Where you provide us with such Special Categories of Personal Data, you are giving us your explicit consent to process such data about you to the extent permitted by the UK and/or EU data protection regime (as applicable). Where you provide us with such Special Categories of Personal Data about persons other than yourself, you must obtain each of their explicit written consent for us to process their Special Categories of Personal Data to the extent permitted by the UK and/or EU data protection regime (as applicable) and in accordance with this privacy policy. Their explicit written consent which you obtain must be supplied to us on our request. If a person does not give explicit written consent to our processing their Special Categories of Personal Data, then their Special Categories of Personal Data must not be supplied to us. That is to say, you must not upload video or audio files containing Special Categories of Personal Data of anyone who you have not obtained explicit written consent from. 

Special Categories of Personal Data are subject to special protections under the UK and/or the EU data protection regime (as applicable).  

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
