Exceptions in the Netherlands are made only for using
Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and on-premise services. First, you don’t need to conclude DPA with a national train company so your employees come by train.
Secondly, you don’t need a DPA if your company uses on-premise services. Such software should be installed in your ICT environment and process all the personal data over there. However, an on-premise solution is
inferior to cloud services among SMEs, to a large extent because of their high costs.
Thus, an average company relying on many third-party services in data processing needs many DPAs to be created. This eventually results in annoying paperwork, but otherwise, a business risks facing fines from Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP).
Draft your Processing Agreements on the legally validated online templates. On Enty, you will find templates of a DPA and other common legal contracts. It takes 3-5 minutes to complete the online form and generate the document - then you’re ready to go!
