Common use of Contract Control Clause in Contracts

Contract Control. Contract control encompasses measures to ensure that personal data processed under a contract can only be processed according to the client’s instructions. Where Processor processes personal data on a contract basis a written agreement on contract data processing is always concluded with the statutory content required under GDPR. Processor also has its own specimen form contracts available for such an eventuality which the client may use for that purpose. Contractual commitments ensure that Processor only processes client data according to their instructions, that the confidentiality of data is guaranteed and in particular that, in the absence of the client’s express instructions to the contrary, client data does not become incorporated in Processor’s general database of information. Furthermore, the details of technical and organisational security measures in place at Processor form part of every contract data processing agreement with Processor as a result of this document being an agreed annex to such contract data processing agreement.
