LEGAL

INFORMATION PRACTICES - BY CATEGORY

Our collection, use and sharing practices for our business purposes are the same for all Prospective Customers, regardless of their residency. By category, that breaks down to:

• Identifiers;
• Contact information;
• Commercial information;
• Internet activity from our Websites;
• Professional information; and
• Approximate location.

YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

For those individuals that would like more information on the specific information collected about them, you have the ability to request:

• That we provide details about the categories of personal information we collect about you, including how we collect and share it;
• The correction or deletion of personal information we collected from you;
• That we provide you access to the personal information we collected from you; and
• To contact us if there are any questions, comments or requests in connection with our Privacy Policies.

California residents also have the right to opt out of “sales” or “sharing” of their personal information. We do not “sell” personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain unaffiliated partners and service providers to collect information about users directly through our Website for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our Website and ads, providing content more relevant to you, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and detecting and reporting fraud. You can opt out of any potential sharing or sales at the link below:

where you can exercise your rights to opt-out of cookies, analytics and personalized advertising. You can also opt out of non-essential cookies through the cookie consent portal that pops up when you reach our Websites. To learn more about cookies, please visit our Privacy Controls section.

SUBMITTING A REQUEST

To exercise a data right, please complete the "Privacy Request" webform. You will, at a minimum, need to provide the following: your name, business or other email address, company name and country, and if applicable, state of residence, as well as your request type and your relationship to Brightcove. We will use your email and mobile phone number to verify your identity. We will not use your mobile number other than to assist in processing the request or in any other way you’ve previously permitted us to use it. We will process any requests within a reasonable period of time, and in any case in accordance with applicable law.

Where Brightcove receives a request from a Customer’s Viewer, we will refer the request to the Customer and support the Customer in responding to the request.

You can designate an authorized agent to make a data-rights request on your behalf. Authorized agents can submit requests on behalf of another individual by completing the "Privacy Request" form.

For the previous calendar year, Brightcove has received:

• 0 Requests to Know or Access;
• 0 Requests to Delete;
• 0 Requests to Correct; and
• 557 Requests to Opt-Out for all users in the United States (we do not segregate by State).
• The mean number of days it took Brightcove to respond to 0 requests was 0. For opt out requests, the mean was 1 day.

The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to opt out of the sharing of certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

The personal information we collect from Nevada consumers and how it is processed is the same as that collected for all Prospective Customers generally. Please review those sections in this Privacy Policy. We also require any service providers we use to process any personal information we share in connection with Brightcove Services and operations to restrict their use of the information to providing the Brightcove Services and acting on our behalf. Otherwise, we will only provide information to third parties if you direct us to or as required by law. We do not “sell” personal information as defined under Nevada privacy laws.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

When you use our Website or voluntarily submit requests for information or otherwise engage with us online, that personal information may be transferred to the United States, where our primary processing facilities are located. There is no adequacy decision yet for the United States. However, we have conducted an evaluation of transfers to the United States, and believe that the risk to your privacy in this context is low or nonexistent. As such, we rely on the consent you give when you directly submit your information to us, and otherwise rely on the legitimate interest derogation available under the GDPR for interactions that are not continuous and are necessary to provide the requested information and services on our Websites. We do not transfer sensitive personal information.

If you object to this transfer, please do not use our Website and do not submit your personal information to us. If you would like to withdraw your consent for further processing of information already provided to us, you can do so by following the instructions in the Data Rights Requests section.

COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

This Website sets cookies and other similar technologies. Users coming in from an IP address associated with the EEA/UK region will receive a consent based pop-up that will enable users to accept, reject or manage their cookies preferences. You can learn more about our cookie policy and positions, as well as opt out of targeted advertising within the Cookie Choices and Advertising Policy section.

Brightcove has developed a comprehensive compliance program for its EEA, Swiss and UK Customers and their Viewers. In addition to the disclosures in these Privacy Policies, we have provided links to key documentation that outlines our processing activities, data transfer practices and Brightcove’s stance on government requests, to make it easy for our Customers to comply with their own obligations as Controllers when using Brightcove Services in those regions.

COLLECTION BASIS

We collect and process personal data where it is necessary to satisfy a contract with our Customers or Service Providers, to comply with our legal obligations, for our legitimate business purposes or with your consent. Where the term “personal information" is used in these Privacy Policies it covers the same type of information as “personal data,” as that term is defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENTS

We only process Customer and Viewer personal data in accordance with the terms of a data protection agreement, entered into in each instance by Brightcove and the Customer, that limits the processing in accordance with your instructions and as necessary to provide the services, for our legitimate business interests and in the other ways permitted by law. You can review our standard data processing addendum. To learn more about how we treat and transfer personal data we receive from Customers.

We are also transparent about our use of subprocessors, which are also contractually obligated to protect your personal data under these standards. Those subprocessors are listed on the Services Subprocessors page, where you can also sign up to receive alerts whenever we add any additional service providers to the list.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Brightcove is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and processes personal data in line with our obligations and Data Privacy Framework principles, including purpose limitations, data minimization and providing a direct means of dispute resolution. For further information, please see our Data Privacy Framework Notice below. For those transfers of personal data that are not covered by the Data Privacy Framework, Brightcove relies on the most recent versions of the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer compliance mechanism to transfer personal information collected in the EEA, Switzerland and UK.

We have also conducted a transfer impact assessment (“TIA”) for transfers to the United States, where our primary processing takes place for transfers out of the EEA/UK/Swiss region. This TIA takes into account the personal information involved and the laws of the importing country around government access to that information. We will continue to compile TIAs for any countries which do not have adequacy or qualified state status. We monitor any changes in the law that may impact this assessment and will update the TIAs accordingly. Our TIAs are available for Customers or Prospective Customers upon request.

GOVERNMENT REQUESTS

Brightcove may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including disclosures necessary to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or pursuant to judicial orders.

FISA Warrant Statement

Only “electronic communication service providers,” within the meaning of 50 U.S.C § 1881(b)(4) are subject to an order for “Upstream” surveillance under Section 702 of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) – the type of order that was of principal concern to the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Schrems II decision. In practice, the U.S. government uses “Upstream” orders only to target traffic flowing through internet backbone providers that carry traffic for third parties (i.e., telecommunications carriers). For more information see Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, Report on the Surveillance Program Operated Pursuant to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (July 2, 2014) pp. 35-40, available at https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/pclob-702.pdf. Brightcove does not provide such backbone services, as we only handle traffic involving our own Customers, so “Upstream” orders are inapplicable to Brightcove.

Brightcove also does not process personal data that is within scope of a FISA 702 order. The Department of Commerce was clear that companies that transfer personal data involving commercial information like employee, customer or sales records, could have no basis to believe intelligence agencies interpret the law to ever seek to collect that data. For more information see Information on U.S. Privacy Safeguards Relevant to SCCs and Other EU Legal Bases for EU-U.S. Data Transfers after Schrems II(Sept. 2020) pp.2-3, 6, available at https://www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/2020-09/SCCsWhitePaperFORMATTEDFINAL508COMPLIANT.PDF

DATA RIGHTS REQUESTS

Customers may have certain rights to their personal data, namely:

• Access;
• Correction;
• Erasure/deletion;
• To object to processing for direct marketing purposes;
• To withdraw consent for data collected based on your consent and not for any other lawful basis;
• To restrict processing; and
• To portability in a commonly used and machine-readable form.

Where Brightcove receives a request from a Viewer, we will refer the request to the Customer and support the Customer in responding to the request.

Certain Brightcove Services offer Customers self-service options in the Administrator (or similar) mode of their accounts at no additional cost, including the ability to access, download and export your Viewer data, delete Viewer data and restrict the use of that data. Before you exercise your options, please be aware that deletion of Viewer data is irreversible. If you need further instructions on how to access and use those features, or if you use other Brightcove products and services that may not include these self-service options, please reach out to your customer success representative with your request.

Please keep in mind that when you ask us for your personal data or ask us to delete it, we may need to retain or withhold some of the information for security or legal reasons. For instance, we need Customer and Customer Usage data to maintain your account and requested services. That means if you ask us to delete that information, we may not be able to continue providing those services or products.

To exercise a data right, on your own behalf (as a Customer) or on behalf of a Viewer, please contact Support or privacy@brightcove.com with the Subject Line: GDPR Data Rights Request. Within the request, please provide the following: your name, corporate email, company name and country and, if applicable, state of residence. We will process any requests within a reasonable period of time, and in any case in accordance with applicable law.

There is also the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory data protection authority (“DPA”) if you believe our processing is inconsistent with the applicable data protection laws. You need to lodge any such complaint directly with the relevant DPA.

If you utilize a Payment Service for payments related to Brightcove Services, please contact us at privacy@brightcove.com, and note in your email that you would like Brightcove to facilitate the correction or deletion of your personal data with the Payment Service.

Accuracy of data is very important to us. Customers should ensure that any information provided to us is up-to-date and Customers may correct information by either logging into their Customer account or by contacting Brightcove’s customer support team. In certain situations, Customers may need assistance from customer support in making a change. We will respond to requests to make changes to Customer records as soon as reasonably practicable. We may require Customer representatives to verify their identity before granting access to, or agreeing to update, correct or delete personal data belonging to Customers.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We operate globally and may transfer your personal information to our locations in other countries for the purposes described in these Privacy Policies. We will protect the privacy and security of personal information we collect in accordance with our policies, regardless of where it is processed or stored.

In some of the countries to which we transfer personal data, like the United States, the privacy and data protection laws and rules regarding when government authorities may access data may vary from those of your country. The United States data protection framework is comprised of state laws and sector-specific regulations based on entity type - like banks or credit bureaus - or the information type - like financial information or electronic medical records. As such, not all information at the state level is treated similarly.

No matter where your personal information is transferred, stored or processed by us, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard the privacy of your personal information. These steps may include implementing encryption when the information is outside of our networks and during transfer, standard contractual clauses where recognized by law, obtaining your consent for that purpose or relying on other lawful means of transferring personal information and restricting or limiting access to that information. By using the Website, you consent to this transfer.

Additionally, EEA/UK residents will also receive a notice relating to personal information we receive from non-affiliated parties - like job boards and networking sites - as part of their application. As a resident in the EEA/UK region, you have certain rights to access, correction, erasure, to restrict processing, to transfer that personal data to another party, and where applicable, to withdraw consent you previously provided in connection with your application. To exercise those rights, please complete the “Privacy Request” webform.

If you indicate you want to continue to be considered for other roles or receive updates from Brightcove, your personal data shall be retained for 18 months from an unsuccessful candidacy. Otherwise, the job portal will automatically purge your application a year after its submission.

Job applicants, your application is covered by our hiring vendor’s privacy policy. Please review their practices prior to submitting your personal information.

As a California resident, current and former employees have certain rights to access, correct and delete personal information you provide to us in connection with their employment. Job applicants have those same rights to that information related to their application. We do not sell your personal information. To exercise those rights, please complete the “Privacy Request” webform. You can also contact us at +1 617 500 4947, and we will assist you in submitting a request through the webform. We will use the information submitted to verify your identity and to evaluate and process your request.

We retain the personal information of applicants as long as it is necessary to evaluate their candidacy for employment, and to comply with the law. We retain personal information of former employees for a legally mandated period post-termination, and then as otherwise legally permitted.

Brightcove Inc., and its affiliates (“Brightcove” or “we”), and certain service providers and partners operating on our behalf may set cookies and other similar technologies to identify your device as you navigate our publicly-accessible Website, certain Brightcove Services, support pages, and documentation. A cookie is a piece of data contained in a very small text file stored in your browser or elsewhere on your hard drive. By themselves, cookies do not identify you specifically; they recognize the browser or device (whether you are using it or someone else). Unless you log into your Brightcove account, we do not know who you are just because you visited our Websites. Definitions for some of the technologies listed, as well as information about your choices with respect to them, are available below.

HOW WE USE COOKIES

The Website uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Website. A session cookie disappears when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. We use persistent cookies to help remember user preferences and improve the user experience. Data collected by these technologies may be used for several purpose, including, for example, to:

• Provide useful features to simplify your experience when you return to our Websites and applications (for example remembering where you left off on a video, or your conversation with the Brightcove chatbot);
• Provide you with relevant content based on your activity on our Websites, your industry, and approximate geographic location;
• Evaluate and optimize the use and operation of our Websites and various Brightcove Services; and
• Analyze traffic on our Websites and where that activity is generated from.

More specifically, the below cookies are found on the Websites.

COOKIEBOT CHART

OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

Web Beacons. We use web beacons along with cookies to gather data about use of the Website and interactions with our Players and emails. They recognize certain types of data on your device, like when it viewed a particular article and a description of the Website tied to the beacon. For example, we may put beacons in our marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that links to our Websites or materials, and then use that information to operate, improve and measure the performance of the Website and our marketing communications and strategies.

Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, the files viewed on the Website (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. For example, your IP address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you use the Website, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) you visited. We may combine this automatically-collected log information with other information we collect from you. We do this to improve and enable the functionality of the Website and the Brightcove Services.

IP Addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to the device you are using by your ISP and, in many cases, IP addresses are shared by multiple people or computers and may be dynamically generated (meaning they change over time). Brightcove uses hashed IP addresses to provide our contracted-for services, namely aggregate analytics, viewership statistics and for billing purposes. We use IP addresses in raw logs stored in internal-access only systems for technical support, debugging and billing inquiries. We also use IP addresses to serve up customized cookie consent options in certain regions, and as part of fraud prevention.

OPT OUT RIGHTS

If you are located in the European Union, visit the "Your Online Choices" page for ways to opt out of receiving targeted advertising from participating third party advertisers, or visit the "Our Consents and Preferences Center" page.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from or through us. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, third parties may still use cookies to collect information about your use of our Website, including for analytics and fraud prevention. Please visit the COMMUNICATION CHOICES tab to see your options relating to Brightcove email marketing.

You can also opt out of any non-essential cookies via the consent management pop up that comes up when your browser opens our Websites.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TELEMEDIA DATA PROTECTION ACT STATEMENT

The Brightcove Player does not set any cookies on a Viewer’s device or browser, nor does it store information locally on the Viewer's device. Our traditional analytics use IP addresses and are based on stop, play and pause time and to enable playing of the requested video across devices, which would all fall under the strictly necessary categories. You, as a Customer, may be subject to local laws, such as the ePrivacy Directive or the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act, depending on the types of plugins you utilize within the Brightcove Player (if any) and/or on your website where the Player is located, particularly those technologies used for marketing or analytics.

ADVERTISING

We partner with service providers to manage our advertising on the Website and third party websites, which may include serving or tracking advertisements on or relating to the Website. Our service providers may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on the Website and third party sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. The privacy policies of those third parties will govern your interactions with such third party websites or ad networks.

We support the self-regulatory principles for online behavioral advertising (Principles) published by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). This means that we allow you to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third party websites for online interest-based advertising purposes. More information about these Principles can be found at http://www.aboutads.info. If you want to opt out of receiving online interest-based advertisements on your internet browser from advertisers and third parties that participate in the DAA program and perform advertising-related services for us and our partners, please follow the instructions at http://www.aboutads.info/choices, or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ to place an opt-out cookie on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertisements. Opt-out cookies only work on the internet browser and device they are downloaded onto. If you want to opt out of interest-based advertisements across all your browsers and devices, you will need to opt out on each browser on each device you actively use. If you delete cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt out again.

Please note, while there is no generally accepted method to do so, our Website does recognize a “do not track” setting (or similar mechanism) from your browser to indicate that you do not wish to be tracked or to receive interest-based ads. We also interpret the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to opt out of non-essential cookies.
