What is a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
A Data Processing Agreement is a legally required contract between a controller and a processor that regulates the processing of personal data.

When is a data processing agreement required?
A data processing agreement is generally required when one organization appoints another party to process personal data on its behalf, and the applicable law requires those responsibilities to be documented. Requirements depend on the governing data protection regime. For matters within Laine’s current UAE coverage, the relevant framework is the ADGM data protection regulations.
