Data Processing Addendum

Overview

CaseMark's Data Processing Addendum skill uses AI to draft fully GDPR Article 28-compliant DPAs from your uploaded service agreements and processing documentation. The tool produces a complete, cross-referenced addendum with recitals, eleven operative sections, signature blocks, and four detailed schedules—transforming what typically takes hours of specialized privacy law drafting into a streamlined, automated workflow.

Drafting GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendums is a time-intensive process requiring deep familiarity with Article 28 requirements, international transfer mechanisms, and technical security measures. Legal teams often spend hours manually extracting terms from service agreements, cross-referencing sub-processor details, and ensuring every mandatory element is addressed—creating bottlenecks in vendor onboarding and processor negotiations.

CaseMark automates the entire DPA drafting workflow by extracting party details, processing scope, security posture, and transfer mechanisms from your uploaded documents. The AI generates a fully cross-referenced, execution-ready DPA with all four schedules, ensuring comprehensive GDPR compliance while freeing your legal team to focus on strategic negotiation and risk assessment.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your service agreement, party details, and processing description documents

  2. 2. AI extracts key terms, party information, data categories, and security posture

  3. 3. CaseMark generates a fully cross-referenced DPA with all four schedules

  4. 4. Review, customize, and export your execution-ready DPA in DOCX or PDF

Questions

Does the DPA cover all mandatory GDPR Article 28(3) requirements?

Yes. CaseMark's AI ensures every mandatory element under Art. 28(3) is addressed, including documented instructions, confidentiality obligations, security measures, sub-processor management, data subject rights assistance, breach notification, audit rights, and data return or deletion upon termination.

Can the DPA handle international data transfers outside the EEA?

Absolutely. CaseMark automatically incorporates the appropriate transfer mechanisms—whether Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), adequacy decisions, or Transfer Impact Assessments—based on the information you provide about data flows and processor locations.

What if our processing involves special category data under Article 9?

CaseMark explicitly flags any special category data (health, biometric, racial/ethnic origin, etc.) identified in your processing description and applies enhanced safeguards and specific provisions within the DPA to address the heightened compliance requirements.

Can I use this for existing service agreements where processing is already underway?

Yes. CaseMark drafts the DPA with provisions for retroactive application where processing has already commenced, ensuring your existing data processing relationships are brought into GDPR compliance without disruption.

How does CaseMark handle sub-processor authorization?

CaseMark generates comprehensive sub-processor management clauses covering general or specific prior written authorization, notification obligations, flow-down of obligations, and a complete authorized sub-processor list in Schedule D based on the information you upload.

Is the generated DPA ready for execution or does it need legal review?

CaseMark produces an execution-ready DPA with signature blocks and all four schedules. While the output is comprehensive and GDPR-compliant, we recommend a final legal review to confirm alignment with your organization's specific risk tolerance and negotiation positions.
