No tool is GDPR compliant on its own: that depends on how your business uses it. This page shows the vendor's side, from its own pages. It is not legal advice.

Training

Does VEED train on your data?

Trains on your data by default?

Checked

Doesn't train on your data.

No. VEED's Terms limit its right to train AI on uploaded content to the Free tier and say this does not apply to paid subscriptions such as Business. Enterprise is also excluded.

Vendor's wording: “This does not apply if you have a paid-for subscription (e.g., ‘Basic’, ‘Pro’ or ‘Business’)”

Checked

European Union: VEED's servers are in the EU, on Google Cloud Platform (West 1). Sub-processors elsewhere are listed separately.

Checked

Data in the EU by default.

Contract

Does VEED sign a data processing agreement?

Data processing agreement (DPA)

Checked

DPA in the terms.

Yes: the Terms of Use include a Personal Data Processing Agreement (with EU standard contractual clauses) for business clients on paid services, so Business is covered without a separate contract.

Vendor's wording: “willing to enter into terms of sale for business clients for paid services (Master Agreement) that may require the Provider to process Personal Data on behalf of the Customer.”

How long data is kept

Checked

On termination of the contract, personal data in the service is deleted or destroyed within 60 days (or returned if the customer asks beforehand). No in-service retention period is given.

Vendor's wording: “the Provider will securely delete or destroy within 60 days or, if directed in writing by the Customer before the termination or expiry of the Master Agreement, return and not retain”
