Data Protection & Data Processing Clauses
Many commercial agreements and terms and conditions involve personal data in some way. Rather than rewriting a full agreement, it is often helpful to insert a small set of standard clauses that bring the document into line with UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This collection contains standalone clauses designed to be inserted into a wide range of agreements and terms and conditions with minimal alteration.
When Should You Use These Templates?
Use these clauses where your contract refers to personal data and you want to document the parties’ data protection responsibilities clearly. In particular:
- use the Data Protection Clause where the agreement needs a general data protection provision and a clear reference to your Privacy Notice;
- use the Data Processing Clauses where one party will process personal data on the other party’s behalf (a controller and processor arrangement).
What Templates Are Included?
Data Protection Clause
A standard clause for use in a wide range of agreements and terms and conditions, stating that personal data will be used in accordance with the law and referring to a Privacy Notice for full details.
Data Processing Clauses
A controller and processor clause designed to assist with UK GDPR compliance where one party processes personal data on the other party’s behalf. Two versions are included: one for agreements and one for terms and conditions.
Why Use These Templates?
These clauses help you add appropriate data protection wording to existing commercial documents without turning them into heavy, standalone data protection agreements. They are particularly useful where you want consistent, reusable wording across multiple templates and customer contracts, with a clear split between general data protection wording and specific controller and processor requirements.
