API Terms of Service & Developer Agreement

An API Terms of Service & Developer Agreement governs developer access to an organization‚ APIs, data, and platform. This playbook details provisions around usage rights, rate limits, data handling, and security compliance.

Data Security and Privacy

Why This Matters: Failing to enforce adequate security and privacy standards exposes parties to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the API Provider:

Ensure that the contract includes specific security measures such as encryption and access controls. Advocate for clear breach notification timelines that align with legal requirements.

If you're the Developer:

Negotiate for reasonable security measures that are industry-standard. Ensure that breach notification obligations are feasible and do not impose undue burdens.

Essential elements

1

Security Measures

Industry-standard controls and encryption.
2

Compliance Obligations

Adherence to privacy laws.
3

Breach Notification

Timely notification protocols.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if security measures are vague or non-compliant with laws.

EDIT

Reject if the clause lacks essential security or compliance elements.

ADD

Add language for jurisdiction-specific compliance if missing.

PRO TIP

Always ensure that data protection clauses are tailored to the specific jurisdictions involved.

Example clauses

FAVORABLE

Comprehensive Security Clause

"Both parties shall implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption and access controls, and comply with applicable privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA. In the event of a data breach, parties must notify each other within 72 hours and cooperate in the investigation."
NEUTRAL

Basic Security Agreement

"Parties agree to use reasonable security measures and notify each other of any data breach within a commercially reasonable timeframe."
UNFAVORABLE

Inadequate Security Provisions

"Parties will attempt to maintain security measures as feasible, without specific obligations or timelines for breach notification."

Fallbacks

High-Risk Projects

For projects involving sensitive data, ensure that enhanced security measures and rapid breach response protocols are in place.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Include specific provisions for data transfers across jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with international data protection laws.

Small Business Contracts

Simplify security requirements while maintaining compliance, focusing on cost-effective measures suitable for smaller entities.
