Where Company User Data is the subject of a Restricted Transfer, Vimeo will ensure such transfers are made in compliance with Applicable Privacy and Data Protection Law by relying on the Standard Contractual Clauses, which are hereby incorporated into this DPA, and which are deemed to be completed, populated and incorporated as outlined in this Section 8.1.

8.1.1. For Restricted Transfers protected by the GDPR or UK GDPR, the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply completed as follows:

  • Where Company is a controller, Module Two will apply. Where Company is a processor, Module Three will apply. Where Vimeo and Company are each a controller (i.e. for Vimeo Account Data), Module One will apply;

  • Clause 7: the optional clause is included;

  • Clause 11(a): the optional clause is disregarded;

  • Clause 13(a): the competent supervisory authority shall be selected according to Section C of Annex I;

  • Clause 17: the parties select the laws of Ireland to govern disputes arising from these Standard Contractual Clauses;

  • Clause 18: any dispute arising from the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of Ireland; and

8.2. Data Privacy Framework. Company acknowledges that Vimeo complies with the Data Privacy Framework and that transfers of Company User Data to Vimeo made under the Data Privacy Framework shall not be a Restricted Transfer. If Vimeo’s Data Privacy Framework certification lapses, or the Data Privacy Framework is invalidated, transfers of Company User Data shall immediately be considered a Restricted Transfer, and the provisions of Section 8.1 will apply.

8.3. Supplementary Measures. If Vimeo receives an order from any third party for compelled disclosure of Company User Data that has been the subject of a Restricted Transfer, Vimeo will:

8.3.1. Use every reasonable effort to redirect the third party to request the data directly from Company;

8.3.3. Request a reasonable extension of time from the third party to allow Company to evaluate the request; and

8.3.4. Use all lawful efforts to challenge the order for disclosure on the basis of any legal deficiencies or conflicts with the laws of the EU, Switzerland, UK or applicable EU member state law.

If, after exhausting these steps, Vimeo remains compelled to disclose Company User Data to a third party, Vimeo will disclose only the minimum necessary to satisfy the request.

9. Term and Termination

9.1. This DPA shall be in effect for as long as Company uses any of the Enterprise Services, provided however, that where Vimeo is obligated, according to the terms of this DPA or any Vimeo Policies, to retain Company User Data following the termination or expiration of the Enterprise Services, this DPA shall continue to be in effect for as long as Vimeo holds such data.

9.2. Vimeo shall enable Company, through its admin account, to delete its Vimeo account, which will initiate deletion of Company User Data. If Company does not take any action to delete its Vimeo account, Vimeo will delete it when retention is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or required to be retained under applicable law.

9.3. Vimeo shall have the right to amend and/or adjust any of the terms of this DPA as may be required from time-to-time, in order to comply with any applicable laws or regulations.

Annex II: Technical and Organizational Measures to Ensure the Security of the Data

Vimeo maintains internal Information Security and Privacy Policies, which are approved annually and must be reviewed and accepted by all Vimeo employees. These policies include standards for information security management as required by the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), Security Trust Principles of SOC 2 Type 2 and other privacy or data security laws, regulations, or standards. The following spotlight controls demonstrate Vimeo’s information security framework:

Governance

Vimeo’s security program is based on the concept of in-depth security: securing our organization, and user data at every stage. Our security program is aligned with ISO (International Standards Organization) 27001 and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards and is constantly evolving with updated guidance and new industry best practices. Vimeo maintains a dedicated security team led by Vimeo’s Chief Information Security Officer, who is responsible for the implementation and management of our security program.

Vimeo maintains and implements a written information security program, including appropriate policies, procedures, and risk assessments that are reviewed at least annually. The program applies to Vimeo’s employees, contractors, and suppliers. Vimeo maintains a process to monitor and enforce program compliance and log program violations.

Security Awareness Training

Vimeo provides annual security training to its personnel on relevant threats and business requirements such as social-engineering attacks, sensitive data handling, causes of unintentional data exposure, and security incident identification and reporting.

Incident Response

Vimeo has established incident response plans and procedures that set forth guidelines for effectively detecting, responding to, mitigating, and recovering from security incidents within its organization, ensuring minimal impact on operations and safeguarding sensitive data. They include processes for incident preparation, detection/analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, remediation and communications to customers where necessary.

Vulnerability Management

Vimeo maintains a process to timely identify and remediate system, device, and application vulnerabilities through patches, updates, bug fixes, or other modifications to maintain the security of customer data. Vimeo aims to mitigate critical vulnerabilities within 7 days of discovery. High risk vulnerabilities are mitigated within 30 days of discovery.

Audit Logs

Vimeo Enterprise provides customers access to a protected audit trail of user activities as an encrypted continuous export stream or downloadable file in a SIEM compatible format, and can clearly demonstrate the user performing the action, the action taken, success or failure, date and time.

Malware Defenses

Vimeo deploys endpoint detection and response and anti-malware software on workstations and servers to control, detect and remediate the installation, spread, and execution of malicious code.

Data Retention

Vimeo users are given tools within their account settings to delete user-submitted account data (including videos, comments, group participation and channel participation). Vimeo hard deletes user-submitted account data within a reasonable time following a deletion request or account closure.

Encryption

Vimeo encrypts customer data at rest and when in transit across open networks in accordance with industry best practices. For encryption at rest, AES128, or greater is used. For encryption at transit, TLS 1.2 or higher is used.

Firewalls

Vimeo maintains and configures firewalls to protect systems containing customer data from unauthorized access. Vimeo reviews firewall rule sets at least annually to ensure valid, documented business cases exist for all rules.

Access Control

Vimeo adheres to the principles of least privilege and role-based permissions when provisioning system access. Employees are only permitted to access data that they reasonably must handle in order to fulfill their job roles and responsibilities. User access certifications are performed on critical systems on a quarterly basis.

Single Sign-on and Authentication

Where possible, Vimeo employs Single Sign On (SSO) and/or multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all access to systems with sensitive data.

For Enterprise customers, Vimeo supports integration with a SAML and/or OAUTH Single sign-on identity provider such as OKTA and Azure active directory. Vimeo also supports SCIM for automated user lifecycle management to manage user, entitlement and role management within the software, including provisioning, deprovisioning, role and entitlement query, assignment and removal.

Security Testing

Vimeo conducts penetration testing of systems to identify vulnerabilities and attack vectors that can be used to exploit those systems. Identified vulnerabilities are addressed as part of Vimeo’s vulnerability management program. Vimeo also leverages support from the security community through HackerOne Bug Bounty programs.

Vendor Management

Vimeo conducts an information security review of all vendors that will access personal data, and imposes heightened data security requirements for vendors which have access to Vimeo’s critical systems. This review includes both initial onboarding and annual recertification.

Annex III: Sub-Processors

The controller has provided a general authorization for use of sub-processors per Section 6.1 of the DPA. For a list of current sub-processors, see https://vimeo.com/enterpriseterms/dpa/subprocessors.
