Since the GDPR became applicable in 2018, many organisations have started to invest significantly more in data privacy. Unfortunately, not every organisation has properly implemented the GDPR and other relevant privacy laws.
Data protection authorities can impose fines of up to € 20,000,000, or 4% of your annual turnover. GDPR violations can also lead to reputational damage. It is therefore necessary to comply with privacy legislation. Periodically performing a Privacy Compliance Assessment can help you stay compliant. We have the knowledge and experience to perform compliance assessments for you.
Is an external party processing personal data on your behalf? In that case, you are most likely required to conclude a data processing agreement with that external party. We can help you with drafting these complex agreements in compliance with the GDPR.
We can also assist you in drafting data transfer agreements with any third-party data controllers with whom you share personal data as a controller. Although these agreements are not legally required, they can play a crucial role in minimizing risks for data subjects. By establishing clear security protocols and defining the purpose of data transfers, these agreements help prevent misunderstandings and ensure that personal data is handled appropriately and securely.
Are you as a data controller processing personal data together with another data controller? You might be required to sign a joint controller agreement with that controller. Contact us if you need any assistance with this type of contract.
