Drafting and negotiating Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)

We develop agreements that govern the relationship between parties that process personal data. These include agreements between data controllers (individuals or organisations that determine the purposes and means of data processing) and data processors (those who process data on behalf of the controller).

As part of this service, we provide:

• Drafting data processing agreements (DPAs)

We prepare legally correct agreements that clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties regarding the processing of personal data.

• Proofreading and making adjustments to existing contracts

We review contracts with counterparties and make amendments to reach mutually acceptable terms, including the scope of data processing, data protection and processors’ obligations.

• Consideration of legal requirements

Agreements are developed in accordance with the GDPR (for the European Union), CCPA (for California), as well as other relevant rules and regulations.

• Monitoring and updating agreements

We assist with updating contracts in line with changes in legislation.

Benefits of drafting and negotiating Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)

• Legal compliance. The development and execution of data processing agreements ensures compliance with legal requirements, which helps to avoid fines and legal sanctions for violations of personal data processing rules.
• Protection of the company’s rights and interests. The agreements clearly define the rights and obligations of the parties, including the processing, storage and protection of data, which minimises risks for the company and protects its interests in the event of disputes.
• Ensuring data security. The agreements set out specific measures to protect personal data, including technical and organisational security measures that reduce the risk of leaks or unauthorised access to information.
• Minimising legal risks. The presence of detailed terms and conditions avoids misunderstandings and legal conflicts, providing clarity on data processing and the responsibilities of the parties.
