Data Processing Agreements

Sharing personal data between organisations — whether with processors, joint controllers or independent controllers — requires robust legal arrangements that meet the requirements of the GDPR. Fort Privacy helps organisations draft, review and negotiate the full range of data sharing agreements including Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) under Article 28, joint controller arrangements under Article 26, and controller-to-controller data sharing agreements. We ensure that the terms accurately reflect the practical realities of the data sharing relationship, that appropriate safeguards are in place, and that both parties’ obligations are clearly understood. We also advise on the due diligence that should accompany any data sharing arrangement to ensure the other party can meet its commitments.
