Commissioned Processing Contract

According to Art. 28 GDPR, companies must always conclude a commissioned processing contract (AV contract for short) if they commission external service providers to process personal data in accordance with instructions (i.e. collect, process and/or use data). 

The contract includes:

  • the subject matter and duration of the assignment,
  • the scope, nature and purpose of the intended collection, processing or use of data,
  • the type of data and the group of data subjects,
  • the technical and organisational measures to be taken in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO,
  • the correction, deletion and blocking of data,
  • the existing obligations of the contractor, in particular the checks to be carried out by him,
  • the possible authorisation to establish subcontracting relationships,
  • the Client's rights of control and the Contractor's corresponding obligations to tolerate and cooperate,
  • any infringements of the regulations on the protection of personal data or of the specifications made in the contract by the contractor or the persons employed by him to be notified,
  • the scope of the authority to issue instructions which the Client reserves vis-à-vis the Contractor,
  • the return of data carriers provided and the deletion of data stored by the contractor after termination of the contract.
