Common use of Content and Data Protection Clause in Contracts

Content and Data Protection. a. Content consists of all data, software, and information that Client or its authorized users provides, authorizes access to, or inputs to the Cloud Service. Use of the Cloud Service will not affect Client's ownership or license rights in such Content. IBM, its affiliates, and contractors of either may access and use the Content solely for the purpose of providing and managing the Cloud Service. b. Client is responsible for obtaining all necessary rights and permissions to enable, and grants such rights and permissions to, IBM, its affiliates, and contractors of either, to use, provide, store and otherwise process Content in the Cloud Service. This includes Client making necessary disclosures and obtaining consent, if required, before providing individuals' information, including personal or other regulated data in such Content. If any Content could be subject to governmental regulation or may require security measures beyond those specified by IBM for a Cloud Service, Client will not input, provide, or allow such Content unless specifically permitted in the terms of the relevant TD or unless IBM has otherwise first agreed in writing to implement additional security and other measures.
