Vercel updated its Data Privacy Framework dispute resolution process. Previously, the policy stated that Vercel would cooperate with EU, UK, and Swiss data protection authorities to resolve complaints. The updated terms now direct unresolved complaints to VeraSafe, a third-party dispute resolution provider, which will provide free recourse. Additionally, Vercel added explicit language establishing a 'Right to Restriction' allowing users to request limits on processing of personal information and further disclosures.
Consumers: Users can now formally request that Vercel limit how it processes their personal data or stop sharing it in certain ways.
Data controllers: Organizations using Vercel must now direct unresolved complaints to VeraSafe instead of regulatory authorities, and may need to update their complaint procedures and vendor contracts.
The updated terms establish a new dispute resolution pathway for Data Privacy Framework complaints. Previously, unresolved complaints would be escalated to EU, UK, and Swiss data protection authorities. Under the revised policy, Vercel directs unresolved complaints to VeraSafe, a third-party dispute resolution provider, which will provide free recourse. The policy also adds explicit language granting users the right to request restriction of personal information processing and further disclosures. You can file a complaint with VeraSafe by submitting required information at https://www.verasafe.com/privacy-services/dispute-resolution/submit-dispute/.
→ Review the VeraSafe dispute resolution process at https://www.verasafe.com/privacy-services/dispute-resolution/submit-dispute/ if you have an unresolved Data Privacy Framework complaint.
