Prezi

[Bailey, Ernest L]

We have had some official concern on our campus about the Licenses granted to Prezi for all users of their product:

6.2 Licenses you grant to Prezi for use of Public User Content and Private User Content

In order to provide the Service to you in accordance with these terms, we need certain licenses from you in order for us to, e.g., host, store and display the content. For example, we need the right to publicly display/perform the work to allow us to display it on the computer monitor of any party who is not the copyright holder. We need the right to reproduce the content so that it can be saved to our servers. We need to create derivative works and modify the content, for example, when transcoding an uploaded image into a format that will work most efficiently with the Service.

With respect to Private User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Prezi (and its successors, assigns, and third party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE of providing you, and those with whom you have shared your presentations, with the Service. This license ends when you delete your Private User Content or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except (i) to the extent that your Private User Content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it and (ii) that we retain a license to maintain a back-up copy of your Private User Content indefinitely.

With respect to Public User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Prezi (and its successors, assigns, and third party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content (1) for the purpose of providing you, and those with whom you have shared your presentations (including the public), with the Service; and (2) in connection with promotion and marketing of Prezi products and services, including without limitation allowing third parties to search or index the content, in connection with email promotions, product demonstrations, and the like. This license ends when you delete your Public User Content or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except (i) to the extent that your Public User Content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it and (ii) that we retain a license to maintain a back-up copy of your Public User Content indefinitely.

Regardless of whether you designate content public or private, Prezi makes no claim of ownership to your User Content, and obtains no rights to your content other than as provided for herein.

 

I was wondering:

·        How many presenters are using Prezi?

·        Is Prezi provided on campus computers used for presentations?

·        Are users sticking with the Private User Content?

·        What is Prezi doing with these presentations?

Thanks,

 

Ernie

Being medical like us, the user agreement is a red flag. There may be presentations that contains patient (RE:HIPAA) information, and Prezi should not have any access to that. Whenever we encounter 2^nd party management of software or gear, we have a formal agreement signed by them guaranteeing that they adhere to HIPAA regulations as well. They do not sign, they do not have business here. I would run this by your Hospital and Schools legal departments. But from the part you shared with us, it looks like a no go.

Thanks Ben,

Our HIPAA compliance officer is all over this. The academic side of campus always says that they don’t use patient information, but we have clinicians coming in to present to students all the time, and my team has to keep watch over everyone. We are starting to see some Prezi users in our classrooms and on the administrative side of campus.

 

Outside the HIPAA issues, some of legal people are concerned about what Prezi will do with the worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content that is granted to them.
