Data Processing Agreements - Risks & Tips Explored

Introduction

Data processing is an often-overlooked area in commercial contracts, but it can present a high degree of risk if it isn’t approached carefully. Both the customers and suppliers risk wasting time and resources, and even having to take responsibility for a breach of data protection legislation, if the data processing clauses in a contract aren’t fit for purpose.

This webinar is for those who are responsible for drafting or reviewing contracts between controllers and processors, whether you act on behalf of the controller or processor.

It will build on your existing knowledge of the basic requirements for data processor agreements, as we explore different scenarios, the risks for both parties, and how to mitigate them in a fair and practical manner.
