Clear terms for handling personal data
Data Processing Agreements
A data processing agreement should identify the work being done with personal data and the safeguards each party has agreed to follow. For businesses seeking a data processing agreement in Dublin or elsewhere in Ireland, the wording needs to fit the service and the information involved.

This gives both parties a clear view of what the service handles.Security and confidentiality
Record agreed security measures, staff confidentiality and assistance obligations in workable terms.
The clauses should reflect controls the organisation can put into practice.Sub-processors

Set out who does what
Controller and Processor Responsibilities
The agreement needs to reflect how the work is actually organised. Its language can clarify decision-making, instructions and assistance without obscuring either party's role.
Controller considerations
Record the decisions and instructions that define the processing arrangement.
- Who decides why personal data is processed and the intended purposes.
- Documented instructions and limits on using data for other purposes.
- How requests from data subjects and impact assessment work may be supported.
Processor considerations
Make the service provider's agreed tasks and handling duties readable.
- Processing only within the documented instructions and agreed service scope.
- Assistance with relevant data subject requests and assessment requirements.
A controller-processor contract should match the real relationship. Labels alone cannot settle who makes the relevant decisions.
Make public-facing information accurate
Privacy Notices and Cookie Documentation
