Data sharing arrangements cover how organisations legally share personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. They set purposes, recipients, retention periods, security measures and responsibilities for each party, and how data subject rights are handled. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the agreement, clarifying whether data is jointly or separately controlled, specifies lawful bases for processing, cross-border transfers, and incident response procedures. They also advise on audits, DPIAs, safeguards, and escalation channels if things go wrong.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor defines who may access data, for what purposes, and for how long, aligning the contract with data protection principles, data security requirements, and any sector-specific rules. They establish roles, responsibilities, and accountability, ensure DPIAs are completed where needed, address cross-border transfers, and set breach notification protocols and remedies or remedies for non-compliance.
