GDPR and its impact on contract terms and conditions
Hi there,
My company has recently adopted the necessary measures to meet the new GDPR requirements effective in May 2018 by amending its contracts with our suppliers (the processors) responsible to manage/process data on my company's behalf.
My question is, do my company need to amend its contract templates for other services and delivery of goods to outline that my company adopts the GDPR requirements in relation to data protection? My company when engaging with suppliers ask for the suppliers' representative details (including passport details) for due diligence verification and this has got me concern as some of the suppliers representatives are from the UE. However, the articles I read about GDPR emphasised the contracts re data processing must abide the new GDPR, that is, contracts between 'controller' and 'processor', but it lacks information on whether any other type of contract must have new clauses to address the GDPR.
Thanks
