A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is essential whenever an organization (the data controller) engages another party (the data processor) to process personal data on its behalf. This Maltese law-governed DPA template is specifically designed to meet the requirements of both the EU GDPR and Malta's domestic data protection legislation. It should be used when either the data controller or processor is based in Malta, or when parties specifically choose Maltese law as their governing law. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as processing instructions, security measures, confidentiality obligations, sub-processing requirements, and international data transfers. It's particularly relevant for businesses operating in or through Malta, especially considering Malta's position as a hub for financial services, gaming, and technology companies processing EU personal data.
