Guidelines on using the template
• Text in square brackets [ ] and highlighted in yellow is agreement text, which is not legally required content in a processor agreement, and which the municipality must consider whether or not to include in the Agreement.
• Text in square brackets [ ] and highlighted in green indicates that, for example, an indication of time must be completed.
• Text in blue is required content in a processor agreement, which becomes applicable on 25 May 2018 pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation. The date when the regulation enters into force is specified in some of the provisions. If the date is deleted, the provision shall be applicable as of the date the Agreement is entered into and will, therefore, impose an extra obligation on the Supplier until the regulation enters into force. If the date remains, the provision will not take effect before 25 May 2018.
• The italic text in square brackets [ ] are guidelines. Where [See comments] is stated, reference is made to the document ‘Kommentarer til version 1.0 af skabelon for databehandleraftaler xxxxxx kommuner og it-leverandører’.
