Cookies, Analytics, and Targeting

Vidyard and our third-party service providers use cookies, etags, pixels/web beacons, APIs and other similar technologies to automatically collect, record and share certain data about you and your online activities, when you visit our Websites or interact with our Services. The data collected may include, for example, your IP address and other online identifiers, browser and device info (e.g., browser/device type, operating system and version), referring URLs, online interactions and communications, interactions with the Vidyard Services), and other usage and activity data on our Websites and within our Services.

Some of these technologies are ‘necessary’ for our Services to function properly (e.g., to secure, protect, and optimize the performance of our Websites and other Services). Others may be used to enable third party features and functionality (e.g., social media and chat), analyze traffic and usage, record user sessions, detect and remember user settings, personalize experiences, measure and target content and ads (including on third party sites and services), or identify and resolve bugs and errors. You have certain choices about our use of cookies and tracking, as described in this section.

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process, support the security and performance of the Services, or allow us to track activity and usage data within Service.

Pixel tags. Pixels (sometime called web beacons, tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored locally on your device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within web pages and online content. We may use these, in connection with our Services to, among other things, track the activities of users, help us manage content and compile usage statistics. We may also use these in HTML e-mails we send, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.

Third-party analytics and tools. We use third party tools on our Websites and in our Services, such as Google Analytics. These third-party companies may collect usage data (using cookies, pixels and similar tools) about our Services in order to provide us with reports and metrics that help us to evaluate usage of our Services and improve performance and user experiences. You can download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cross-device tracking. We and our third-party providers may use the information that we collect about you within our Services and on other third-party sites and services to help us and these third parties to identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.).

Targeted advertising. We work with third party ad networks, channel partners, analytics and measurement services, and others (“third-party ad companies”) to provide personalized content and for targeted advertising purposes. We may provide or make available certain usage and browser data to these third-party ad companies, which they may combine with usage and browsing information collected from third-party sites, apps and sources. This information is used to provide you more relevant ads and content across third party sites and services, and to evaluate the success of such ads and content.

Custom lists and matching. We may create and share certain customer list information about our customers and prospective customers (such as email address and contact information), so that we can (i) better target ads and content to customers and prospective customers across third party sites, platforms and services, and (ii) in some cases, these third parties may help us to enhance our customer lists with additional demographic or other information, so we can better target our advertising and marketing campaigns (“Custom List Campaigns”). You can opt out of Custom List Campaigns, as set forth below, in the “Privacy Rights and Choices” section.

Managing your preferences. We make available several ways for you to manage your preferences regarding targeted advertising, matching and cookies on our Websites. Many of these are browser and device specific, which means that you need to set the preference for each browser and device you use to access our Services; in addition, if you delete or block cookies, you may need to reapply these preferences. Further, opting out of cookies and advertising as discussed below does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising content from us. You may continue to receive generic or “contextual” ads from us.

Cookie preference manager: You can review or change your preferences for targeting cookies and tags on our Websites through the cookie banner that appears on our Websites, where applicable to you.

Shared content.

These websites and services are wholly independent from Vidyard and have separate privacy policies and data collection practices, independent of Vidyard. We have no responsibility or liability for these websites, their policies or their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any websites you visit.

Protecting the safety of children when they use the Internet is very important to us. The Websites and Services are not designed or intended for use by minors.

International Data Transfers

Vidyard is headquartered in Canada, and the Services are hosted in the United States. Some or all of the personal information we collect may be stored or processed on servers located in Canada and the United States, and in other jurisdictions in which our service providers have operations. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your personal information to, or process it from, outside the country in which you reside, and your personal information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions. The data privacy laws may not provide equivalent levels of protection as those in your home jurisdiction.

EU and UK Data Subjects. Canada’s PIPEDA law has received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. However, if you are in the EEA or the UK, and we process your personal information in a jurisdiction that the European Commission or the UK has deemed to not provide an adequate level of data protection (a “third country”), such as the United States, we will implement measures to adequately protect your personal information, such as putting in place standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the UK or another measure that has been approved by the EU Commission or the UK as offering adequate safeguards for the protection of personal information when transferred to a third country. You may request additional information about the safeguards we have in place by contacting us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

Security and Retention

We have implemented safeguards that are intended to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee security.

We are not required to comply with your erasure request under certain circumstances, such as where our processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. If you are entitled to erasure, where possible, we will inform any third parties with whom we have shared your personal information of your erasure request, and if you ask us, we will also tell you with whom we have shared your personal information, so that you can contact them directly.

We can continue to use your personal information following a request for restriction, where (i) we have your consent, (ii) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or (iii) to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. If you are entitled to restriction, where possible, we will inform any third parties with whom we have shared your personal information of your erasure request, and if you ask us, we will also tell you with whom we have shared your personal information, so that you can contact them directly.
Right to object to our use of your personal information: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information, and we will cease processing your personal information (i) where the processing is for direct marketing purposes, or (ii) we are relying on our legitimate interests as the legal basis for such processing, unless we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.
Right to (data) portability: You can ask us to provide your personal information to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it ‘ported’ directly to another controller, but only where our processing is based on your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means.
Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. If you have consented to the sharing of your content (including personal information) with third parties for training, improving and testing AI technologies and models, you can withdraw your consent through the “Privacy Settings” menu of your account, or by contacting us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section above (See our Content Sharing Policy for more information), but note that this will not impact the processing already undertaken on the basis of the consent you originally provided.
