Data processing agreement
Quick answer
A contract that sets the rules for how a processor handles personal data for a controller.
A DPA covers purpose, security measures, subprocessors, breach notice, international transfers and deletion at the end of the relationship.
Where any personal data could be involved in a data license, a DPA or equivalent terms are commonly attached to the main agreement.
