Privacy Policy
Dated 10 May 2022.
Qumu Corporation and its group of companies (“Qumu”) operates several websites including www.qumu.com. It is Qumu’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect or receive while operating our Services. This Privacy Policy sets out how Qumu collect and use information from customers, prospective customers and other individuals who access or use our websites, who request information about our products or services, who apply for roles or vacancies at Qumu, our mobile applications, and/or any of our other sites, products, or services that link to this Privacy Policy including but not limited to the Qumu Cloud Platform (the “Services”). By using our Services, you understand that we will collect and use your information as described in this Privacy Policy (collectively “you”).
If you or your organization has a separate agreement with us, that agreement may have privacy terms that also apply to the information you provide to us under that agreement. Please review the terms in that agreement as they may be different or more restrictive than the terms in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites and apps that you may use, including any linked to in our Services. You should review the terms and policies for third-party websites and apps before clicking on any links.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Qumu collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Qumu’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Qumu’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Qumu may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Qumu also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Qumu does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering and Use of Personal Data
Certain visitors to Qumu’s websites choose to interact with Qumu in ways that require Qumu to gather personal data (as that term is defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)). The amount and type of personal data that Qumu gathers depends on the nature of the interaction by you. Qumu typically collects information about visitors, including personal data, in order to provide and improve our Services and to support the advertising and marketing of such Services. For example, we ask visitors who register as Partners at www.qumu.com to provide their name, email address, and company address. In each case, Qumu collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Qumu. Qumu does not disclose personal data other than as described below, and visitors can always refuse to supply personal data, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
We collect certain information directly from you, such as when you fill out forms with a name or email address or when you otherwise engage with us, such as by phone, email or video-call. We collect other information, usually about devices, browsers, or locations, automatically. We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as licensing the temporary use of a targeted database of contacts who may be interested in our Services.
You have choices about whether you visit our sites, install our apps, or provide information to us. However, if you do not provide us with certain information, you may not be able to use some parts of our Services.

The personal data we collect from you may be transferred outside the UK/EEA either by us and/or by any of the third parties to whom your personal data may be disclosed to as listed in the ‘Who do we share your personal data’ section of this Privacy Policy. Such transfers will occur only where they are necessary as part of: i) the recruitment and/or related intermediary services we provide, e.g. where you apply for a vacancy or position outside the UK/EEA, or where the transfer is authorised by law or ii) in relation to the provision of our products and services to you or your business.
We, our third party data storage providers and/or the third parties to whom we may disclose your personal data, may store your personal data on a server overseas.
If we do transfer your personal data outside the UK/EEA, we will make sure that suitable safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection legislation such as the GDPR, for example by using approved contractual agreements, unless certain exceptions apply, or where we are authorised to do so.
Qumu has implemented an intra-group data transfer agreement with the standard contractual clauses in place to govern the transfer and sharing of any personal data from Qumu’s entity in the United Kingdom to its affiliates in India and the United States of America.
We will provide you with further details of the safeguards that we have implemented if you would like to know what they are.
