Joint controllers data sharing agreement (unilateral)

This agreement is for one-way or unilateral joint controller data sharing. In other words, it is designed for a situation one a controller is sharing personal data with another controller, and the parties will be joint controllers with respect to that other controller's processing of that shared personal data.

The data sharing agreement will help businesses acting as joint controllers to handle data in a manner compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in both its EU and UK variant, and also to adhere to the data sharing guidelines published by the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

The central concept of this data sharing agreement is the idea of "relevant processing" that is some defined processing activities, taking place with respect to some defined categories of personal data, with respect to which the joint controllership rules apply. This allows that the parties to the contract might be independent controllers in some other respects, or indeed have a controller-processor relationship in relation to some other processing activities.
