Data processing agreement checklist

Make it Legal™ Checklist

Here are a few important steps to take to finish your document

Read the document to make sure it meets your needs and that you’ve provided all of the necessary information about your data processing. Remember that, if you have any questions, you can Ask a lawyer for advice.

The supplier and the customer must both sign the document. If either is a company or a partnership, its representative (ie signatory) must sign. 

The date of the Agreement is the date on which the parties sign, if that is the same day. If they sign on different days, the date of the Agreement is the day on which the last person signs.

You can sign your DPA by either:

  • signing online using RocketSign, or

  • signing in print

    • print a copy for both parties 

    • both parties should sign and date both copies by hand

Each party should keep their own original signed DPA.

A copy of your Data Processing Agreement will also be stored automatically in your Rocket Lawyer account ‘Dashboard’.
