With data privacy laws constantly evolving or being newly created and every party pushing to use their template, understanding how to review a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is a muscle we need to work out regularly.

To help you exercise your DPA muscle, we’re bringing together experienced privacy attorneys—who, sadly, have looked at way too many DPAs over their careers—to share the what, why, and how of DPA teardowns.
