Privacy Contracting in Practice: AI Clauses, Power Dynamics, and Vendor Risk You Can Actually Negotiate

Unnegotiated Clauses Are Unmanaged Risks. Negotiate AI terms and vendor obligations that actually hold up under scrutiny.

Your privacy program is only as strong as its weakest vendor, and the clause you didn’t negotiate is the one you’ll be explaining to a regulator. This session picks up where standard DPA templates stop, covering the provisions that matter most in 2026, the AI terms most contracts still don’t address, and how to negotiate from both sides of the table – pushing vendors for terms that hold up, and answering the same demands when they come from your own customers.

Built for legal, privacy, security, compliance, GRC, and procurement professionals who negotiate agreements and own the risk that follows.

What you’ll learn:

• DPA, cross-border transfer, and SCC provisions that need updating for 2026
• AI clauses that hold vendors accountable – training restrictions, model outputs, subprocessor disclosure – and how to respond when customers ask you for the same
• Power dynamics on both sides: finding leverage against a take-it-or-leave-it vendor, and holding your position when a customer overreaches
• Operational readiness: turning signed terms into obligations you can track and evidence

Register to get practical contract language you can use in your next negotiation — whichever side of the table you’re on.
