A practical UK guide to the suppliers that handle personal data for you. It explains controllers, processors and joint controllers, how to work out the role of each supplier, and how to carry out proportionate due diligence before you sign.
It walks through the Article 28 contract terms, red flags to look for in a data processing agreement, how sub-processors work, how to handle transfers outside the UK including the IDTA, the UK Addendum and the data protection test, and how to manage suppliers over time and end the relationship properly. A short chapter covers your own duties when you are the supplier. Includes a supplier register, due diligence questionnaire, contract clause checklist, instruction record and exit checklist.
