Automated data processing agreements (DPA)

What is a data processor?

If you process personal data on behalf of other companies, you are most likely considered a data processor according to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Since a data processor is only allowed to process and store data by the instruction of a data controller, the relationship between those parties must be clarified by a written agreement.

This agreement is called a data processing agreement (DPA) and must contain the instruction for managing data, including both purpose and scope. Furthermore, those agreements should retain information about sub-processors, transfer of data to third countries outside the EU, the procedures in case of a data breach, and much more.

Why automate DPAs through Contractbook?

Despite the fact that DPA documents are long and complicated, they are also quite standardized as most of the clauses are mandatory and predefined.

That makes it a very obvious document to automate and by helping you do that, you can save lots of time for more important tasks.

Through integration between Typeform and Contractbook, you can automatically generate and collect data processing agreements from your customers or any other external for your company parties and afterward store them in an organized overview.

If you often handle standardized agreements in extensive quantities, Contractbook lets you create simple integrations through Zapier which will release you from any manual tasks. We strive to make the contracts work for you and not the other way around.

Besides a Contractbook account, you simply need a free account on Zapier and a free account on Typeform.

How do automated data processing agreements work?

The end result will be a custom-tailored questionnaire that collects all the necessary data and automatically generates a standardized data processing agreement.
