Outsourcing and data protection
Practice Notes

This Practice Note addresses the data protection aspects of outsourcing under UK data protection law from the perspective of customers and suppliers where (as is usual in outsourcing arrangements) the customer acts as controller and the supplier acts as processor. This Practice Note on data protection and outsourcing also sets out what compliant outsourcing agreements typically contain and discusses commonly negotiated issues in outsourcing agreements relating to data protection such as audit provisions, indemnities and liability (including approaches taken to limitations, exclusions and caps on the supplier’s liability and indemnities).
