This provision authorizes personal information to constitute a transferred asset in corporate transactions, including during pre-transaction due diligence; notification is described as occurring 'thereafter' and 'as applicable,' meaning users may not receive prior notice before their data is disclosed to prospective acquirers.
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/.

"We may disclose or transfer your information to relevant third parties in the event of, or as part of the due diligence or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or part of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding). Personal information may be part of the transferred assets. You may be notified thereafter of any such change in ownership or control through email or other means as applicable.Excerpt from Vercel AI's SDK Privacy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR requirements for lawful processing grounds and data subject notification in the context of business transfers; under GDPR, a change in data controller through an asset transfer may require updated privacy notices and, in some cases, re-establishment of consent or legitimate interest assessments. FTC guidance on data as an asset in bankruptcy proceedings is also relevant. California CCPA and CPRA do not generally prohibit this type of transfer but require that the successor entity honor existing opt-out requests. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. This is a standard commercial provision; however, the notification timing described as post-transfer 'as applicable' creates a gap relative to GDPR transparency requirements that may warrant legal review in the context of an actual transaction. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users are most affected given GDPR's transparency and lawful basis requirements in controller succession scenarios. California users' existing opt-out preferences should, under CCPA, be honored by any successor entity, though the Notice does not expressly commit to this. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers with data processing agreements with Vercel should assess whether those agreements contain change-of-control provisions that allow contract termination or renegotiation in the event of an acquisition; the Notice's transfer provision does not address DPA continuity obligations in a transaction context. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor for any Vercel corporate transaction announcements and assess whether updated data processing agreements or controller notifications are required; data mapping records should be sufficiently current to support rapid assessment of affected data flows in a transaction scenario.
