Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

A DPA outlines obligations between data controllers and processors regarding the handling of personal data under privacy laws. This playbook discusses key terms including processing scope, security measures, and cross-border transfers.

Pricing & Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Precise pricing terms prevent billing disputes, support budgeting accuracy, and maintain healthy financial relationships.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Data Controller:

Ensure that all fees and payment schedules are clearly outlined to align with your financial policies. Verify that invoicing procedures are detailed, including frequency and method of delivery.

If you're the Data Processor:

Negotiate for clear payment terms that include milestone payments and conditions for payment release. Ensure that late payment penalties are reasonable and enforceable.
