"Calendly may generate Usage Data based on Customer Data and your use of the Services, including without limitation through our use of monitoring, session replay, and recording tools. As between you and Calendly, all right, title, and interest in Usage Data, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by Calendly.Excerpt from Calendly's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The collection of Usage Data through session replay tools implicates GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements and CCPA disclosure obligations where the collected data constitutes personal data or personal information. The ePrivacy Directive may apply to cookie-based or similar tracking used to generate Usage Data in EU contexts. State privacy laws in California, Virginia, Colorado, and other jurisdictions may require disclosure of session replay data collection in privacy notices. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The session replay and recording tool reference is operationally specific and may collect detailed behavioral data about Authorized Users and potentially Participants interacting with embedded Calendly features on customer websites. Customers who process EU personal data through Calendly should assess whether the Usage Data generation mechanism is addressed in the incorporated DPA. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA customers face heightened exposure where session replay tools collect personal data of data subjects, as this may require lawful basis assessment and data subject disclosure obligations under GDPR. California customers should verify whether Calendly's Usage Data practices are reflected in the customer's own CCPA-compliant privacy disclosures. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The assertion that all rights in Usage Data belong to Calendly, even where derived from Customer Data, represents a contractual IP ownership claim that procurement teams and data governance teams should evaluate against their own data classification policies. The agreement distinguishes Customer Data (retained by customer) from Usage Data (owned by Calendly) but the boundary between these categories may not always be operationally clear. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and privacy teams should confirm whether Calendly's session replay and monitoring tool usage is adequately disclosed in the incorporated Privacy Notice and DPA, and assess whether customers have independent disclosure obligations to their own users regarding this data collection.
