<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">We came across this language last summer and found it problematic and broad in scope as well. Since I knew we wouldn’t have much luck negotiating different language either, I
asked for some examples in writing from their legal department on when this clause could be invoked to clarify its intent. They were happy to provide it and I would recommend requesting something similar in writing as a precaution. From what I was provided,
the clause is stemming from their need to be in compliance with data privacy laws, such as GDPR. They may need to have access to certain information (IPs, Usernames and Passwords) that may be considered private depending on the country in order to perform
their contractual obligations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
