Sprinklr’s role in processing
personal data
SPRINKLR’S PLATFORM

Sprinklr offers the world’s most complete enterprise customer experience


management system, built to help large brands create, manage, and optimize
valuable social experiences for their customers, across 23+ social channels and
brand websites. The Sprinklr platform is a cloud based SaaS application provided
over the Internet, in a multi-tenant hosted environment.

As a service provider/processor, the Sprinklr platform collects, uses, shares and


otherwise processes personal data only on behalf of customers, to provide the
services described in our customer contracts and our standard Data Processing
Addendum (DPA).

PERSONAL DATA WE PROCESS ON BEHALF OF


SPRINKLR PLATFORM CUSTOMERS

Customer Content – Personal data that customers upload to the Sprinklr


platform may include consumer information, such as emails lists of newsletter
subscribers, etc.

Social Media Data – Content, including public posts and private messages to
the customer, that social media users send via customer’s social media profiles
(e.g., Facebook page) connected to the Sprinklr platform, and information that
users make publicly accessible on social media networks, which we collect
based on search queries defined by the customer.

More information is available in our Website Privacy Policy and the Sprinklr Social
Media Management Privacy.

Data protection in social
media listening
Social media listening allows customers to perform broad keyword searches, and
search users who interact with the customer, across information that users make
publicly available via social media platforms, blogs & blog comments, mainstream
news sources, forums, photo and video sites, social network communities and
other media.

Sprinklr performs these searches in compliance with the media sources’


relevant terms.

With the caveat that Sprinklr is not a law firm and may not provide individual legal
advice to our customers, here’s how we view social media listening:

UNDER GDPR:
When media sources make user information publicly available, and available to
our customers – as they do in their terms – these media sources are responsible
for establishing a legal basis for publicizing and otherwise disclosing user
information.

Given media sources’ permission to access user data, our customers may rely
on their own “legitimate interest” to collect that user information via Sprinklr.

UNDER CCPA:
When media sources make user information publicly available, and available to our
customers – as they do in their terms – these media sources that are responsible
for providing notice and relevant choices to California users, including notice
of disclosure of their data to third parties (such as the public, our customers and
Sprinklr), and any applicable choice to limit such disclosure.

Enabling customers’ data
protection compliance:
DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS REQUESTS

Sprinklr puts customers in control of their data.

Sprinklr’s Privacy Center available in the Sprinklr Platform enables customers to


comply with data subjects’ rights requests (access, rectification, deletion) real-time
and efficiently.

Customers can access and use the Sprinklr Privacy Center via the platform user
interface or an API.

The data subject rights Sprinklr supports reflect our role as a service provider/
processor – Sprinklr does not facilitate an opt-out of “sale” functionality because
we do not sell personal data.

Sprinklr’s focus on
data security
INFORMATION SECURITY CONTROLS
Sprinklr’s information security program is documented in the Sprinklr Security
Manual, providing a detailed overview of Sprinklr’s security and compliance
infrastructure and is available to customers upon request.

Sprinklr’s information security controls are consistent with the types of personal
data that our platform processes – generally, consumer marketing and
engagement data such as email lists, social media posts, and publicly available
information. The platform is not intended for processing users’ government ID
information or sensitive personal data.

The Sprinklr platform is a multi-tenant SaaS product, hosted in a private virtual


cloud (PVC). This means that customer data shares the physical environment with
other Sprinklr customers but is logically isolated to provide security.

This PVC hosting environment is designed for a high availability redundant


enterprise grade installation with strong security.

Sprinklr holds a SOC 2 Type 2 security certification.

DATA SECURITY INCIDENT NOTIFICATION


Sprinklr maintain a documented professional incident management and response
system designed to comply with applicable legal requirements, including incident
notification deadlines.
