Transfers of Personal Information Out of the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK 

Privacy Shield

Daily.co complies with both the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA),  Switzerland, and the UK, respectively, to the United States. Daily.co is committed to subjecting all personal information received from EEA countries, Switzerland and the UK in reliance on the Privacy Shield Frameworks, to the Principles of the applicable Framework. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Statement and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit U.S. Department of Commerce's Privacy Shield List at https://www.privacyshield.gov/. 

Daily.co is responsible and liable for the processing of personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield Frameworks and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as its agent. Daily.co complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal information from the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

With respect to personal information received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, Daily.co is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, Daily.co may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

1. Our relationship with you
   
   We are the “controller” with respect to the personal information of the personal information of people and companies with Daily.co accounts, because we determine the means and purposes of processing your information when using our Services. We are the "processor" of personal information submitted through our API endpoints, API libraries, or logged in the course of end-user activities powered by our APIs, and the owner of the Daily.co account using our APIs is the "controller" of that information.
   
   
2. Legal bases for processing personal information from the EU
   
   We describe how we process your personal information above in the body of this Privacy Policy. We may process your personal information if you consent to the processing, to satisfy our legal obligations, if it is necessary to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts we entered with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you, or for our legitimate interests to protect our property, rights or safety of Daily.co, our customers or others.
   
   
3. Privacy Rights
   
   Pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, EEA and Swiss individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to you in the United States. Upon request, we will provide you with access to the personal information that we hold about you. You may also correct, amend, or delete the personal information we hold about you. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data transferred to the United States under Privacy Shield, should direct their query to help@daily.co.
   
   As described above, we allow you to delete your account and all data related to your account at any time. Please email help@daily.co. We will handle your request under applicable law. When you make a request, we may verify your identity to protect your privacy and security.
   
   Unless you delete your account or delete certain personal information (i.e., video call rooms), we will store your personal information as long as your account is open. If you delete your account, we will delete all your personal information, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
   
   We will provide an individual opt-out choice, or opt-in for sensitive data, before we share your data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. To request to limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please submit a written request to help@daily.co.
   
   The rights described above may be limited by local laws. Further, your right of access and deletion is not absolute and may not be available if fulfillment of such right would, among other things:
   
   

• cause interference with execution and enforcement of the law and legal private rights (such as in the case of the investigation or detection of legal claims or the right to a fair trial);
• breach or prejudice the rights of confidentiality and security of others;
• prejudice security or grievance investigations, corporate re-organizations, future and ongoing negotiations with third parties, the compliance with regulatory requirements relating to economic and financial management; or
• otherwise violate the interests of others or where the burden or cost of providing access would be disproportionate.
