A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a contract that applies when one party (the “controller”) uses another party (the “processor”) to process personal data on its behalf.

When using DMARCwise, your organization acts as the controller and DMARCwise acts as the processor for some categories of data. Organizations that process data of individuals in the European Union are generally required to have a DPA in place with their processors.

For more details about our privacy practices, GDPR, and the DPA, please refer to our Privacy and GDPR page.

The full text of the DPA, including all annexes, is available at Data Processing Agreement. Refer to that page for all legal details, including the description of the processing, the list of sub-processors, and the applicable standard contractual clauses.
