Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a legally required contract under GDPR Art. 28 between a data controller (you) and a data processor (docs101). It defines how personal data is handled, what security measures are in place, and what rights and obligations each party has.

Your DPA is already in place

By creating your docs101 account, you agreed to the DPA as part of the Terms of Service. You can read the full text at docs101.com/dpa. The PDF download below is a convenience feature for your compliance records.

Prerequisites: Complete Your Company Details​

Before the DPA download becomes available, the following fields must be filled in under Business Settings > Details:

  • Company Name — your registered name including legal form (e.g. "Acme GmbH", "Example Ltd.")
  • Street
  • Postal Code
  • City
  • Country
  • Managing Director / Authorized Representative
  • Email
Company Name location

The Company Name field is found under Registration Details in Business Settings. This must be your official registered company name including legal form — it appears on the DPA as the contracting party.
