The latest SpringerNature T&C has a section on personally identifiable
information (copied below).  Has anyone successfully changed it or do you
have standard language that you use instead?  I haven’t come across
language like this in any of our other agreements and so far am not having
luck negotiating changes.  My main issue is with the first sentence.  It
seems unreasonable that we would be responsible for obtaining approvals and
consent for a publisher to receive/process pii from our users, not to
mention it’s something that I don’t want to get involved with for a variety
of reasons.  I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have!





In the event that Licensor’s performance of its obligations under this
License Agreement requires that Licensor receive or otherwise process any
personal data of Authorized Users, then Licensee shall obtain, if
applicable, all necessary approvals and consent from Authorized Users for
transfers of personal data to Licensor.  Personally indentifiable
information collected or retained by the licensor is confidential and shall
not be released without the prior written and explicit consent of the
patron and the licensee





Thank you,

Leah Donley
