I will draft a watertight data processing agreement dpa for your saas or tech firm
Licensed UK Solicitor GDPR, Cybersecurity Tech Legal Expert
About this Gig
If your SaaS company, agency, or tech firm processes personal data on behalf of clients, Article 28 of the UK GDPR mandates that a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) must be in place. Operating without one is a direct violation of data protection laws.
As a practicing UK Solicitor (SRA: 7272296), I draft specialized DPAs that clearly define the legal boundaries between Data Controllers and Data Processors.
Your custom DPA will comprehensively cover:
- Subject matter, duration, nature, and purpose of processing.
- Obligations and rights of the Data Controller.
- Strict limitations on Sub-processor engagement.
- Liability, indemnity, and audit rights clauses.
- Cross-border data transfer mechanisms (Standard Contractual Clauses / UK IDTA).
Enterprise clients will not sign contracts with your SaaS without a legally sound DPA. I ensure your document meets rigorous corporate procurement standards, removing friction from your sales cycle while legally protecting your tech firm.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Privacy Policy and a DPA?
A Privacy Policy tells the public how you use their data. A DPA is a B2B contract between your company and your clients detailing how you process data on their behalf.
My SaaS uses AWS and Stripe. Do I need a DPA?
Yes. Because you use third parties (Sub-processors) to handle client data, your clients need a DPA with you, and you need agreements regarding your sub-processors.
What is the International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA)?
If data flows outside the UK/EEA (e.g., to servers in the USA), you legally require an IDTA or SCCs. The Premium package includes this mandatory documentation.
Can I just copy a competitor's DPA?
No. Competitor DPAs are tailored to their specific data architecture, sub-processors, and liability limits. Copying them leaves you legally exposed to contractual breaches.
Are your DPAs ready for e-signature?
Absolutely. They are formatted cleanly in Word, ready to be uploaded to DocuSign, PandaDoc, or integrated into your standard Terms of Service.
