Data Processing Addendum

Overview

CaseMark's Data Processing Addendum skill automatically drafts comprehensive, GDPR Article 28-compliant DPAs by extracting party details, processing scope, and service terms from your uploaded documents. The AI produces a fully cross-referenced, execution-ready addendum with recitals, eleven operative sections, signature blocks, and four detailed schedules—covering everything from sub-processor management to international transfer mechanisms.

Drafting GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendums is a time-intensive process that requires meticulous attention to every Art. 28(3) requirement, cross-referencing with underlying service agreements, and careful consideration of international transfer mechanisms. Legal teams often spend hours manually assembling party details, mapping data flows, cataloging sub-processors, and ensuring no mandatory provision is overlooked—all while managing multiple processor relationships simultaneously.

CaseMark's AI-powered DPA drafting skill transforms this labor-intensive process into a streamlined workflow. Simply upload your service agreement and supporting documentation, and CaseMark extracts all relevant details to produce a complete, cross-referenced Data Processing Addendum with all mandatory provisions and four execution-ready schedules—ready for review, customization, and execution.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your service agreement, party details, and processing documentation

  2. 2. AI extracts key terms, party information, processing scope, and security posture

  3. 3. CaseMark drafts a complete Art. 28-compliant DPA with all four schedules

  4. 4. Review, customize, and export the execution-ready addendum (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

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

Yes. CaseMark's AI ensures every element required by 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 deletion or return upon termination.

Can the DPA handle international data transfers outside the EEA?

Absolutely. CaseMark identifies cross-border transfer scenarios from your uploaded documents and incorporates the appropriate mechanisms—Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), adequacy decisions, or Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs)—directly into the addendum.

How does CaseMark handle special category data under Article 9?

CaseMark's AI explicitly flags any special category data (health, biometric, racial/ethnic origin, etc.) identified in your processing descriptions. The generated DPA includes enhanced safeguards and specific provisions addressing the heightened requirements for processing sensitive personal data.

Can I use this for existing agreements where processing has already begun?

Yes. CaseMark drafts the DPA with provisions for retroactive application when processing is already underway, ensuring your existing data processing relationships are brought into GDPR compliance without disrupting ongoing services.

Does the output include sub-processor management provisions?

Yes. The DPA includes comprehensive sub-processor clauses covering prior authorization requirements, flow-down obligations, and a dedicated Schedule D listing all authorized sub-processors with their locations and processing activities, as required by Art. 28(2) and 28(4).

How long does it take to generate a complete DPA?

CaseMark typically generates a full, execution-ready Data Processing Addendum with all four schedules in approximately 10-12 minutes. This replaces what traditionally takes hours or days of manual drafting and negotiation preparation.
