An Intercompany Data Processing Agreement is essential when personal data is processed between different entities within the same corporate group under Danish jurisdiction. This document is required to comply with Article 28 of the GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act, ensuring proper documentation of data processing activities between group entities. It should be used whenever one group entity processes personal data on behalf of another group entity, establishing clear controller-processor relationships. The agreement includes specific provisions required by Danish law, details of processing activities, security measures, and compliance requirements. It is particularly important for multinational organizations with Danish operations or companies subject to Danish data protection regulations, as it helps demonstrate compliance with legal requirements while maintaining efficient intra-group data flows.
