Randy and Sue, are you able to share which vendors you have encountered
that have had such a clause in their contracts?

The subject line  says it all.



We're starting to see clauses in vendor cloud contracts where they are
stating that they will own any data that we store in their cloud. Basically
this sounds like cloud vendors are starting to adopt the social media
sites' approach of "gimme, gimme, gimme, it's mine".  Needless to say, this
is disturbing in so many ways.



Has anyone else run into this?
