Data Protection

Data Processing Agreement Review

Q: When is a Data Processing Agreement required?

A DPA is required whenever personal data is processed on behalf of another company — which is the case in almost all SaaS solutions and in many other tech fields. Under the EU GDPR and Swiss FDPA, having a compliant DPA in place is a legal obligation, not just best practice.

Q: What do I get in the DPA review package?

You receive a red-flag report of the most critical DPA clauses with colour coding and an overall contract assessment. For simple DPAs we include concrete suggestions for wording changes. For complex DPAs we provide a clear recommendation for next steps. All packages include a call with the reviewing legal counsel to discuss specific points.

Q: How quickly can I get my DPA reviewed?

For urgent matters, we can deliver your DPA review within one business day. Our AI-assisted process allows us to move fast without sacrificing the senior legal analysis your contract deserves.

Q: What does the DPA review cost?

The standard DPA review package is CHF 550 (excl. VAT). Additional support for negotiation and further DPA drafting is available on request. We agree the price in writing before we start — no billing surprises.

Q: Can you help with DPA negotiations and redlining?

Yes. Beyond the review, we can negotiate with the counterparty on your behalf and draft or redline the DPA to protect your interests. This is scoped separately and priced transparently.

Q: Does the review cover both GDPR and the Swiss FDPA?

Yes. Our review covers both the EU GDPR and the upcoming Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FDPA/nDSG), which is particularly important if you operate across Swiss and EU markets.

How we solve your challenges

From risk assessment to wording optimisation — we cover everything you need before signing a DPA.

We assess the potential risks of the DPA, especially in the context of the EU GDPR and upcoming Swiss FDPA (Federal Act on Data Protection), so you can decide whether and how to mitigate them. The worst thing you can do is sign a DPA without understanding the risks.

We make sure that what you want to achieve with the deal is possible under the underlying DPA, and that your valuable assets and rights are properly protected.

We point out whether your DPA reflects the market standard for this type of transaction and identify areas for possible improvement — so you sign with confidence.

Clarifications and clearly defined terms before signing a DPA save you additional legal challenges, conflicts, and costs further down the line.
