Webex Meetings
This Privacy Data Sheet describes the processing of personal data (or personally identifiable information) by Webex Meetings.
Webex Meetings is a cloud-based and video conferencing solution made available by Cisco to companies or persons who
acquire it for use by their authorized users.
1. Overview
Webex Meetings (the “Service” or “Webex Meetings”) is a cloud-based web and video conferencing solution made available by
Cisco to companies or persons (“Customers,” “you,” or “your”) who acquire it for use by their authorized users (each, a “user”).
The Service enables global employees and virtual teams to collaborate in real time from anywhere, anytime, on mobile devices
or video systems as though they were working in the same room. Solutions include meetings, events, training, and support
services. For more information regarding optional features for Webex Meetings, please see the Addendums below.
This Privacy Data Sheet covers Webex Meetings, Webex Webinars, Webex Training, and Webex Support. If you use the Service
together with the Webex App, see the Webex App Privacy Data Sheet (available on The Cisco Trust Center) for descriptions of
the data that may be collected and processed in connection with those services.
For a detailed overview of the Service, please visit the Cisco Web Conferencing homepage.
2. Personal Data Processing
The Service allows users to instantly connect in a way that is almost as personal as a face-to-face meeting. If you are a user and
your employer is the Customer that acquired the Service, your employer serves as the “data controller” of data processed by
the Service (see the Webex Meetings Privacy Data Map for a visualization of who is doing what with data). The information
described in the table below and in this Privacy Data Sheet is accessible to your employer and is subject to your employer's
policies regarding access, use, monitoring, deletion, preservation, and export of information associated with the Service.
Similarly, if users participate in meetings hosted by users in other companies, the meeting host and/or co-host will control any
meeting recordings or files shared during the meeting, which will be subject to the host’s corporate policies regarding access,
use, monitoring, deletion, preservation, and export of information. The meeting host has the option to record meetings, which
may be shared with others or discoverable in a legal matter. In addition, meeting co-hosts and participants may also have the
option to record meetings, if this feature is enabled by the Customer in Webex Control Hub. The meeting host should inform all
meeting attendees prior to recording and Webex Meetings displays a red circle and plays an audio prompt to all participants
indicating that the meeting is being recorded. Note, Cisco has no control over, and is not responsible or liable for the privacy of
any information that you have shared with others. Even after you remove information from the Webex Meetings platform,
copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others.
Webex Meetings does not:
Produce decisions that would result in legal or other significant effects impacting the rights of data subjects
based solely by automated means.
Sell your personal data.
Serve advertisements on our platform.
Track your usage or content for advertising purposes.
Monitor or interfere with your meeting traffic or content.
Monitor or track user geolocation.
Because the Service enables collaboration among its users, your personal data is required to use the Service. Cisco will process
your personal data consistent with this Privacy Data Sheet to serve legitimate interests and in accordance with your
instructions. In jurisdictions that distinguish between Data Controllers and Data Processors, Cisco is the Data Controller for
personal data processed to administer, manage, and improve the customer relationship and service. Cisco is the Data Processor
for personal data processed by the Service solely to provide its functionality.

4. Webex Data Residency
Webex data residency provides Customer administrators the ability to choose where their organization’s data is stored. Data
residency is currently available for Customers in the European Union (EU) (“EU Customers”), Customers in Canada (“Canadian
Customers”), and Customers in the United States (“US Customers”) for personal data processed by Webex Meetings, including
User Information, Host & Usage Information, and User-Generated Information (other than as noted below).
2
EU Customers that
became Webex Meetings Customers after July 2021, can choose to provision their data in the EU. For EU Customers who were
provisioned before July 2021, Customer administrators were offered the option to migrate their user data to the EU, and this
was completed as of December 2021. Canadian Customers that became Webex Meetings Customers after July 2022, can
choose to provision their data in Canada. For Canadian Customers who were provisioned before July 2022, Customer
administrators were offered the option to migrate their user data to Canada. US Customers who are provisioned in the US by
their Customer administrators will have their personal data processed and stored in the US.
To facilitate certain operations and aspects of the Service, certain exceptions to Webex data residency exist; specifically, cross-
border transfers of personal data may still occur when (a) a user registers on any Cisco platform (for example, through
www.webex.com or www.cisco.com) or through any Cisco service to learn more about Cisco products or events; (b) a Customer
provides ordering information (business contact information); (c) a user engages in collaboration with users outside of their
region; (d) a user requests technical support, including through Cisco TAC (in which case the information that a user provides
within the initial TAC request may be transferred outside the region); (e) a user enables certain optional functionalities; or (f) a
user enables cell phone “push” notifications (in which case the cell phone provider associated with iOS or Android functionality
may transfer data outside of the region).
For free user accounts, the data defined in this Privacy Data Sheet may be stored in a Webex data center outside the account
holder’s region, including for EU and Canadian Customers.
5. Cross-Border Data Transfer Mechanisms
Cisco has invested in transfer mechanisms to enable the lawful use of data across jurisdictions:
Binding Corporate Rules (Controller)

7. Data Portability
The Service allows Customers and users to export all User-Generated Information. A Customer’s administrator may do so using
APIs provided with the Service (recordings only) or through the Site Admin Page; while individual users may do so through the
My Webex Page. Meeting recordings are available in standard mp4 format.
Customers are permitted to export personal data collected about their users on the Webex Meetings platform using APIs or via
the Site Admin Configuration.
8. Data Deletion and Retention
Subject to their employer’s corporate retention policies, users with an active subscription can delete User-Generated
Information from their account through the My Webex Page at any time during the term of their subscription. Users with an
active enterprise or paid online subscription may also request their organization’s full administrator(s) to delete their host and
usage information. Enterprise Customers have the ability to set organization-wide retention periods for recordings using APIs.
Cisco provides free account users up to 6 months of free storage.
The table below lists the personal data used by Webex Meetings, the length of time that data needs to be retained, and why we
retain it.

Recordings are “soft deleted” and retained for 30 days before being
removed from the platform, to allow a Customer or user to retrieve a
recording they have inadvertently deleted.
User-Generated Information is retained for 60 days after services are
terminated to give Customers opportunity to download.
9. Personal Data Security
The Service adopts technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized
access use or disclosure. Additional information about our encryption architecture is summarized in the table and paragraphs
below.
Personal Data Category
Security Controls and Measures
User Information
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Passwords (stored if Single Sign On is not
configured)
Encrypted and hashed in transit and at rest
Host and Usage Information
Encrypted in transit and at rest
User-Generated Information
Recordings prior to May 2018 were encrypted in transit with the option to encrypt at rest.
Recordings created after May 2018 are encrypted in transit and at rest by default. Recordings
created in the Webex Meetings FedRAMP-Authorized service after October 2019 are encrypted in
transit and at rest.
Protecting Data at Rest
The Service encrypts User Information, Passwords and User-Generated Information, as described above, at rest.
Encryption of Data in Transit
All communications between cloud registered Webex App, Webex Room devices and Webex services occur over encrypted
channels. Webex uses the TLS protocol with version 1.2 or later with high strength cipher suites for signalling.
After a session is established over TLS, all media streams (audio VoIP, video, screen share, and document share) are encrypted.
Encrypted media can be transported over UDP, TCP, or TLS. Cisco prefers and strongly recommends UDP as the transport
protocol for Webex voice and video media streams. This is because TCP and TLS are connection orientated transport protocols,
designed to reliably deliver correctly ordered data to upper-layer protocols. Using TCP or TLS, the sender will retransmit lost
packets until they are acknowledged, and the receiver will buffer the packet stream until the lost packets are recovered. For
media streams over TCP or TLS, this behaviour manifests itself as increased latency/jitter, which in turn affects the media
quality experienced by the call’s participants.
Media packets are encrypted using either AES 256 or AES 128 based ciphers. The Webex App and Webex Room devices use
AES-256-GCM to encrypt media; these media encryption keys are exchanged over TLS-secured signalling channels. SIP and H323
devices that support media encryption with SRTP can use AES-256-GCM, AES-128-GCM, or AES-CM-128-HMAC-SHA1 (AES-256-
GCM is the Webex preferred media encryption cipher).
Zero Trust Security Based End-to-End Encryption
For standard Webex Meetings, where devices and services use SRTP to encrypt media on a hop by hop basis, Webex media
servers need access to the media encryption keys to decrypt the media for each SRTP call leg. This is true for any conferencing
Privacy Data Sheet
Doc type

provider that supports SIP, H323, PSTN, recording and other services using SRTP.
However, for businesses requiring a higher level of security, Webex also provides end-to-end encryption for meetings (“Webex
Zero Trust Security end-to-end encryption”). With this option, the Webex cloud does not have access to the encryption keys
used by meeting participants and cannot decrypt their media streams. Webex Zero Trust Security end-to-end encryption uses
standard track protocols to generate a shared meeting encryption key (Messaging Layer Security (MLS)) and to encrypt meeting
content (Secure Frame (S-Frame). With MLS, the meeting encryption key is generated by each participant’s device using a
combination of the shared public key of every participant and the participant’s private key (never shared). The meeting
encryption key does not traverse the cloud and is rotated as participants join and leave the meeting. For more details on Zero
Trust Security based end-to-end encryption see the Zero Trust Security for Webex white paper.
With end-to-end encryption, all meeting content (voice, video, chat, etc.) is encrypted using the locally derived meeting
encryption key. This data cannot be deciphered by the Service.
Note that when end-to-end encryption is enabled, Webex services and endpoints that need access to meeting keys to decrypt
content (e.g., devices using SRTP where encryption is performed hop by hop) are not supported. This restricts meeting
participants to those using the Webex App or cloud registered Webex devices only, and excludes services such as network-
based recording, speech recognition etc. The following features are also not supported:
Join Before Host
Video-device enabled meetings
Linux clients
Network-Based Recording (NBR)
Webex Assistant
Saving session data transcripts, Meeting notes
PSTN Call-in/Call-back
10. Sub-processors
We may share data with service providers, contractors or authorized third parties to assist in providing and improving the
Service. We do not rent or sell your information. All sharing of information is carried out consistent with the Cisco Privacy
Statement and we contract with third-party service providers that can provide the same level of data protection and
information security that you can expect from Cisco. Below is a list of sub-processors for Webex Meetings. Data shared with
these sub-processors follows Webex data residency, except for those sub-processors who may be implicated by one of the
exceptions listed in that section.
All Cisco sub-processors undergo a rigorous security and privacy assessment to confirm their compliance with our requirements.
They are further bound by a data processing agreement which incorporates the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and places strict
limits on their use and processing of any data provided by us or our Webex customers and users.

authentication purposes.
11. Information Security Incident Management
Breach and Incident Notification Processes
The Information Security team within Cisco’s Security & Trust Organization coordinates the Data Incident Response Process and
manages the enterprise-wide response to data-centric incidents. The Incident Commander directs and coordinates Cisco’s
response, leveraging diverse teams including the Cisco Producƒt Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), the Cisco Security
Incident Response Team (CSIRT), and the Advanced Security Initiatives Group (ASIG).
PSIRT manages the receipt, investigation, and public reporting of security vulnerabilities related to Cisco products and
networks. The team works with Customers, independent security researchers, consultants, industry organizations, and other
vendors to identify possible security issues with Cisco products and networks. The Cisco Security Center details the process for
reporting security incidents.
The Cisco Notification Service allows Customers to subscribe and receive important Cisco product and technology information,
including Cisco security advisories for critical and high severity security vulnerabilities. This service allows Customers to choose
the timing of notifications, and the notification delivery method (email message or RSS feed). The level of access is determined
by the subscriber's relationship with Cisco. If you have questions or concerns about any product or security notifications,
contact your Cisco sales representative.
12. Certifications and Compliance with Privacy Requirements
The Security & Trust Organization and Cisco Legal provide risk and compliance management and consultation services to help
drive security and regulatory compliance into the design of Cisco products and services. The Service is built with privacy in mind
and is designed so that it can be used in a manner consistent with global privacy requirements, including the EU General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Canada’s Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), Health

Addendum One: People Insights for Webex
This Addendum describes the processing of personal data (or personal identifiable information) by People Insights for Webex
Meetings and the Webex App.
People Insights for Webex Meetings and the Webex App is a cloud-based company directory solution made available by Cisco
to companies or persons who acquire it for use by their authorized users.
Cisco will process personal data from People Insights for Webex Meetings and the Webex App in a manner that is consistent
with this Privacy Data Sheet. In jurisdictions that distinguish between Data Controllers and Data Processors, Cisco is the Data
Controller for the personal data processed to administer and manage the Customer relationship. Cisco is the Data Processor for
the personal data processed by Webex Meetings and the Webex App to provide its functionality.
Note: This Privacy Data Sheet is a supplement to the Cisco Online Privacy Statement.
2. Overview
The People Insights feature (“People Insights” or the “Feature”) provides Webex Meetings and Webex App users with
comprehensive, publicly available business and professional information for meeting participants giving users context and
increased insight about the people with whom they collaborate. People Insights only displays publicly available information,
similar to what can be found in search engine results for a persons name and profession. People Insights will also display
internal company directory information to users in the same company. This internal directory information is not visible to users
outside the company. The People Insights database does not look behind logins or paywalls, which means your profile will not
be populated with content from sites like Facebook.
People Insights was designed with data protection and privacy in mind, and is aligned to global privacy requirements, including
GDPR. This Feature provides users with a convenient single view into their already existing public presence and digital footprint.
As outlined below, People Insights includes functionality to honor data subject rights. Users fully own their People Insights
profile and can change or hide the profile to keep information private.
People Insights is enabled by default for U.S. provisioned Customers. Customers provisioned in the EU must opt-in to this
feature. Users at an enabled organization can opt out of People Insights by suppressing their profile in the Webex App. This is
accomplished by signing into people.webex.com and clicking on “Hide Profile.
If you join a Webex Meeting, or a space in Webex App, hosted by a Cisco Customer that has People Insights enabled on their
Site Admin Page or Webex Control Hub, all participants’ People Insight profiles will be visible unless they have chosen to hide
their profiles as described above.

Addendum Two: Facial Recognition for Webex
Meetings (Optional)
This Addendum describes the processing of personal data (or personal identifiable information) by the Facial Recognition
feature for Webex Meetings. The Facial Recognition feature is only available when using Webex Meetings on certain Cisco
Endpoint devices.
Facial Recognition feature for Webex Meetings is a cloud-based feature solution made available by Cisco to companies or
persons who acquire it for use by their authorized users.
Cisco will process personal data from Facial Recognition feature for Webex Meetings in a manner that is consistent with this
Privacy Data Sheet. In jurisdictions that distinguish between Data Controllers and Data Processors, Cisco is the Data Controller
for the personal data processed to administer and manage the Customer relationship. Cisco is the Data Processor for the
personal data processed by Webex Meetings to provide its functionality.
Note: This Privacy Data Sheet is a supplement to the Cisco Online Privacy Statement.
1. Overview
Cisco introduced the facial recognition feature (“Facial Recognition” or the “Feature”) to provide Webex Meetings users with
the ability to identify and recognize registered Webex Meetings participants (i.e., associate participant names with their
positions in a Webex Meetings video), giving users increased connection to meeting participants. The Feature recognizes a face
by converting it to an abstracted facial vector. A facial vector is a list of numbers that characterizes salient facial features of a
user that is then used to identify who is in the meeting. This level of abstraction allows the system to recognize the same face
even when things like lighting and position change.
Facial Recognition is disabled by default, and requires affirmative action by both the Customer and the user to enable. First, the
administrator for the Customer may enable Facial Recognition using Webex Control Hub. However, the feature will not be
available on the user’s account until the user opt-ins at https://settings.webex.com. Because the Feature is based on facial
vectors derived from profile images, the user must have a picture taken at the time of enablement.
2. Personal Data Processing
If the user opts in to the Feature, the Service uses the camera of the user’s device to take a profile picture. This picture is sent
to the Webex cloud where the Feature algorithm generates a facial vector from the picture so that it can be used for matching
as further described below. Both the picture and the facial vector are encrypted and stored securely. The picture may be used
to generate a new facial vector in the event Cisco updates or modifies the Feature algorithm by which facial vectors are
generated. In the event a Customer or user reaches out to Cisco for support with the Feature, Cisco may also use the picture
during the troubleshooting process. During each Webex Meeting, a second facial vector is generated, which is then matched in
the Webex cloud against the stored facial vector. This second facial vector is not retained.
The table below lists the personal data processed by Facial Recognition to provide the Feature and describes why the data is
processed.

Addendum Three: Closed Captioning for
Webex Meetings (Optional)
This Addendum describes the processing of personal data (or personal identifiable information) by the Closed Captioning
feature for Webex Meetings (“Closed Captioning” or the “Feature”).
Cisco will process personal data from Closed Captioning in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Data Sheet. In
jurisdictions that distinguish between Data Controllers and Data Processors, Cisco is the Data Controller for the personal data
processed to administer and manage the Customer relationship. Cisco is the Data Processor for the personal data processed by
Cisco Webex Meetings to provide its functionality.
Note: This Privacy Data Sheet is a supplement to the Cisco Online Privacy Statement.
1. Overview
To make your Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars more accessible, Webex provides automated closed captioning which you
can turn on without needing to turn on Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings. As people speak, closed captioning will appear
above the Webex Meetings or Webex Webinar controls. A closed captions panel is also available, which shows users the closed
captions from the moment they joined the Webex Meeting, so they can easily catch up if they miss anything that’s being said.
Closed Captioning is a cloud-based feature that is enabled “ON” by default; Customer administrators can select enablement for
specific users or, if a Customer administrator intends to disable for all users, he or she can request that Cisco disable at an
organization level. Users can also disable Closed Captioning, so that captions do not appear for themselves; however, if other
users in their Webex Meeting(s) have Closed Captioning ON, data belonging to users who have disabled the functionality will
still be processed in accordance with the privacy disclosures below.
If a host turns on Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings in addition to Closed Captioning, then they will have additional
capabilities to make voice commands and highlight captions to capture audio snippet notes, as detailed in Addendum Four.
Additionally, hosts can record the Webex Meeting and receive a post-meeting transcript, which they can choose to share with
other Webex Meetings users.
Customer administrators can also enable or disable the Captions & Highlights panel for their site.

Addendum Four: Webex Assistant for Meetings
(Optional)
This Addendum describes the processing of personal data (or personal identifiable information) by Webex Assistant for Webex
Meetings (“Webex Assistant”) feature for Webex Meetings.
Webex Assistant is a cloud-based feature made available by Cisco to companies or persons who acquire it for use by their
authorized users. Webex Assistant provides additional functionality to Closed Captioning, for example, allowing users to use
voice commands, highlight closed captions during the meeting, and edit or share highlights after a meeting.
Cisco will process personal data from Webex Assistant in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Data Sheet. In
jurisdictions that distinguish between Data Controllers and Data Processors, Cisco is the Data Controller for the personal data
processed to administer and manage the Customer relationship. Cisco is the Data Processor for the personal data processed by
Webex Meetings in order to provide its functionality.
Note: This Privacy Data Sheet is a supplement to the Cisco Online Privacy Statement.
1. Overview
Webex Assistant is an intelligent, interactive virtual meeting assistant that makes meetings searchable, actionable, and more
productive. When Webex Assistant is turned on, the meeting host and participants can capture meeting highlights with one
click or through a voice command. Even when Webex Assistant joins a Webex Meeting, it will only be activated by the wake
word, “OK Webex.” Once the wake word is detected, the voice command is streamed to the cloud for speech-to-text
transcription and processing. Any participant can use one of many voice commands and create a meeting highlight. Meeting
highlights can include meeting key points, notes, summaries, agendas, action items or decisions.
Webex Customer administrators can enable or disable Webex Assistant for a Webex site and can restrict use of Webex
Assistant to certain users or groups of users at any time.
Cisco has put several controls in place to ensure user transparency. When Webex Assistant is enabled, the Webex Assistant icon
appears in the lower left of the host and participants screen. On Webex endpoint devices, there will be a visual cue similar to
the existing one you see when a Webex Meeting is recorded. Additionally, when the host turns on Webex Assistant in a Webex
Meeting, there will be an audio announcement made to all participants on the call, even if they join late (unless the Webex
Customer administrator has disabled the announcement). As further described below, the host can choose to share the
transcript and meeting highlights with other Webex Meetings users.

Addendum Five: Webex Assistant for Devices
This Addendum describes the processing of personal data (or personal identifiable information) by Webex Assistant for Devices.
Webex Assistant for Devices is a cloud-based feature made available by Cisco to companies or persons who acquire it for use by
their authorized users.
Cisco will process personal data from Webex Assistant for Devices in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Data Sheet. In
jurisdictions that distinguish between Data Controllers and Data Processors, Cisco is the Data Controller for the personal data
processed to administer and manage the Customer relationship. Cisco is the Data Processor for the personal data processed by
Cisco Webex Meetings in order to provide its functionality.
1. Overview
Webex Assistant for Devices gives you a new way to control your devices by using voice commands. Through voice commands,
a user is able to join meetings, control meeting settings and more. Webex Assistant for Devices is disabled by default and can
be enabled by the Customer’s administrator in Webex Control Hub.
Webex Assistant for Devices is activated by the wake word, “OK Webex.” Once the wake word is detected, speech is streamed
to the cloud for speech-to-text transcription. As wake word processing is local on the device, no audio data is stored, processed
or streamed to the cloud until the wake word is detected. After the wake word and command are processed, the resulting text
from the speech engine is returned to the Webex Assistant client on the endpoint device and displayed to the user. Although
Webex Assistant for Devices securely manages functional interactions with Google Speech Services to enable the service, data
is not stored or further processed by Google for any other purpose than to provide you with the service.

10. Information Security Incident Management
Breach and Incident Notification Processes
The Information Security team within Cisco’s Security & Trust Organization coordinates the Data Incident Response Process and
manages the enterprise-wide response to data-centric incidents. The Incident Commander directs and coordinates Cisco’s
response, leveraging diverse teams including the Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), the Cisco Security
Incident Response Team (CSIRT), and the Advanced Security Initiatives Group (ASIG).
PSIRT manages the receipt, investigation, and public reporting of security vulnerabilities related to Cisco products and
networks. The team works with Customers, independent security researchers, consultants, industry organizations, and other
vendors to identify possible security issues with Cisco products and networks. The Cisco Security Center details the process for
reporting security incidents.
The Cisco Notification Service allows Customers to subscribe and receive important Cisco product and technology information,
including Cisco security advisories for critical and high severity security vulnerabilities. This service allows Customers to choose
the timing of notifications, and the notification delivery method (email message or RSS feed). The level of access is determined
by the subscriber's relationship with Cisco. If you have questions or concerns about any product or security notifications,
contact your Cisco sales representative.
11. Certifications and Compliance with PrivacyRequirements
The Security & Trust Organization and Cisco Legal provide risk and compliance management and consultation services to help
drive security and regulatory compliance into the design of Cisco products and services. The Service is built with privacy in mind
and is designed so that it can be used in a manner consistent with global privacy requirements, including the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Further, in addition to complying with our stringent internal standards, Slido also maintains third-party validations to
demonstrate our commitment to information security. The Service has received the following certifications:
ISO/IEC 27001:2013, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO/IEC 27018:2019, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Certification
SOC 2 Type II Report
HIPAA self assessment
As part of its integration, Slido intends to pursue other privacy certifications, including those associated with Webex.
12. Exercising Data Subject Rights
Users whose personal data is processed by the Service have the right to request access, rectification, suspension of processing,
or deletion of the personal data processed by the Service.

Addendum Seven: Cisco-Developed Embedded
Apps (Optional)
This Addendum to the Webex Meetings Privacy Data Sheet describes the processing of personal data (or personally identifiable
information) by Cisco-developed embedded apps in Webex Meetings. Embedded apps developed by third parties, as stated in
the Webex Meetings Privacy Data Sheet, are governed by the respective third party’s privacy policies.
Shared Timer
1. Overview
Shared Timer (the “Service”) is a cloud-based application that allows meeting hosts and participants to set a timer, using preset
intervals, during a particular meeting. The countdown timer is displayed with other meeting participants.
Personal data processing for Shared Timer is largely covered by the disclosed personal data processing associated with the Webex
Meetings Service; for that, please refer to the Webex Meetings Privacy Data Sheet above.
A Customer administrator controls whether user-level personal data can be shared with Shared Timer. In Webex Control Hub,
the Customer administrator can set enable or disable personally identifiable information (“PII”) sharing through “PII
Restrictions.” PII Restrictions are disabled by default (i.e., without any action by the Customer administrator) and the only
pseudonymized user-level personal data will be processed by Shared Timer, as described below.
The following information is supplementary privacy data information associated specifically with Shared Timer.
2. Personal Data Processing
The table below lists the personal data processed by Shared Timer to provide the Service and describes why the data is processed.
If PII Restrictions are enabled, PII sharing mode is on, and the following applies:
To the extent personal data is shared with sub-processors, it is encrypted at transit. Sub-processors do not have access to the
data in the raw.
