Data Protection Clause

This Data Protection Clause is designed for use in a wide range of agreements and other documents to help support compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR.

It states that personal data will be used in accordance with applicable law and refers to a Privacy Notice containing the fuller details.

The clause can be used on its own where one party is simply collecting personal data from the other and using it for the purposes of the relevant agreement or transaction.

When to use this clause

Use this clause where you need a short contractual provision confirming that personal data will be handled lawfully and directing the other party to your Privacy Notice.

If one party is likely to process personal data on the other party’s behalf, and that other party is already acting as a data controller, this clause should be used together with a data processing clause instead of on its own.

How it works with your Privacy Notice

The clause is designed to refer to a Privacy Notice, either by stating where that notice can be found or by incorporating it into the agreement as a schedule.

This helps keep the main agreement concise while ensuring that fuller data protection information is made available in the appropriate place.
