Vercel AI updated its privacy policy on June 2, 2026 to establish a formal dispute resolution process through VeraSafe for Data Privacy Framework complaints and added explicit language around the right to restrict processing of personal information. Previously, the policy stated that Vercel would comply with guidance from EU, UK, and Swiss data protection authorities for unresolved complaints. The updated terms now direct users to submit complaints to VeraSafe, which will provide recourse free of charge, and introduce a new 'Right to Restriction' allowing users to request limits on processing or disclosure of personal information.
The updated policy establishes a new mechanism for resolving privacy disputes related to Data Privacy Framework transfers. Users in the EU, UK, and EEA who have unresolved privacy complaints can now submit them to VeraSafe for independent review, which will be conducted free of charge. Additionally, the policy introduces an explicit Right to Restriction, permitting users to request that Vercel limit processing of their personal information or restrict further disclosures in certain instances, particularly for sensitive information. You can file a complaint with VeraSafe by submitting required information at https://www.verasafe.com/privacy-services/dispute-resolution/submit-dispute/.
The updated policy establishes a concrete, third-party mechanism for resolving Data Privacy Framework complaints that were previously unresolved through internal processes, providing users an escalation path that is transparent and free. The introduction of an explicit Right to Restriction also operationalizes a user control that strengthens personal data governance, particularly for sensitive information.

→ Submit a dispute to VeraSafe at https://www.verasafe.com/privacy-services/dispute-resolution/submit-dispute/ if an internal complaint remains unresolved.
