What is Software as a Service (SaaS)?

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software delivery model in which software and
associated data are centrally hosted in the cloud. SaaS is typically accessed via a web
browser. Payment for the service is through a subscription model.

You are using SaaS today if you access applications like Facebook, Twitter, or gmail.

What do I need to know about Data Privacy?
Personal data generally includes information relating to an individual -think business card (e.g. names, email
addresses, home address) In some countries, also includes information about identified partnerships,
associations, or corporations.
IBM is a data processor, entity that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller, who would be
the client responsible for entering the data.
In most cases, Passport Advantage agreement covers data privacy for personal data.
EU and Switzerland have additional data privacy regulations but have established
the ability to create a framework with the U.S for accessing personal data.
C&SI SaaS is in the process of obtaining EU Safe Harbor certification. This
requires a risk assessment after we Go Live. In the meantime, we have
security measures in place to restrict access to EU client data and for
IBM non-U.S. employee access to Amsterdam hosting center in order to comply.
IBM has an Online Privacy Statement which is another EU Safe Harbor requirement
See the SaaS Center of Competency web site for further details on
country-unique privacy requirements
