## **Data processing agreement**

A data processing agreement is a legally binding contract that states the rights and obligations of DuoCircle (acting as a data processor) and your company (acting as a data controller) concerning the protection of personal data. It completes DuoCircle’s Terms and Conditions and applies to personal data processing activities subject to GDPR.

In accordance with [GDPR Article 28(new window)](https://gdpr.eu/article-28-processor/), Section 3, our data processing agreement includes assurances that:

- DuoCircle agrees to process personal data only on written instructions of your company.
- Everyone who comes into contact with data at DuoCircle is sworn to confidentiality.
- DuoCircle uses appropriate technical and organizational measures are used to protect the security of the data.
- DuoCircle will not subcontract to another processor unless instructed to do so in writing by your company, in which case another DPA will need to be signed with the sub-processor (pursuant to Sections 2 and 4 of Article 28).
- DuoCircle will help your company uphold its obligations under the GDPR, particularly concerning [data subjects’ rights(new window)](https://gdpr.eu/what-the-regulation-means-for-everyday-internet-user/).
- DuoCircle will help your company maintain GDPR compliance with regard to [Article 32(new window)](https://gdpr.eu/article-32-security-of-processing/) (security of processing) and [Article 36(new window)](https://gdpr.eu/article-36-supervisory-authority-consultation/) (consulting with the data protection authority before undertaking high-risk processing).
