Standard Data Processing Agreement

"I need a Standard Data Processing Agreement for my software company that will be processing customer data for a large UK retail client, with specific provisions for cloud storage and real-time data analytics starting from March 2025."

Document background
This Standard Data Processing Agreement is designed for use when one organization (the processor) processes personal data on behalf of another organization (the controller) under English and Welsh law. The agreement ensures compliance with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, establishing clear responsibilities and obligations for both parties. It should be used whenever there is any processing of personal data by a third party, covering essential elements such as security measures, breach reporting, and data subject rights. This document is particularly crucial given the strict data protection regime in the UK and potential penalties for non-compliance.
