Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

Before drafting the agreement, determine a number of key questions. The answers determine which provisions you need.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Does this involve personal data? If personal data is exchanged, the requirements of the GDPR apply, and you must record the division of roles and the legal basis.
Who is responsible for the data? Determine whether you make the data available, receive it, or both; that determines your obligations and risk.
How often and in what form is it shared? A one-off exchange requires different agreements than a continuous or automated connection.
What may the recipient do with the data? Limit use to the agreed purpose and determine whether transfer to third parties is permitted.
Which security is appropriate? The more sensitive the data, the stricter the requirements for transport, storage, and access control.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in a data exchange agreement?

A data exchange agreement regulates which data parties share and under what conditions. The components below form the core of a comprehensive agreement.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Description of the data Always Specify concretely which datasets or categories of data are being exchanged, so that there is no ambiguity regarding the scope.
Purpose of the exchange Always Specify for what purposes the receiving party may use the data; use for other purposes is not permitted.
Basis and division of roles Regarding personal data Determine whether the parties are controllers or processors and on which GDPR basis the exchange rests.
Security and mode of transport Always Agree on the channel through which data is shared and which security measures apply, such as encryption.
Retention period and deletion Always Determine how long the recipient may retain data and when it must be destroyed or returned.
Confidentiality Almost always Obligates parties to treat the data confidentially and not to disclose it to third parties without permission.
Liability Always Regulate who is responsible in the event of loss, leakage, or unauthorized use and whether liability is limited.
Duration and termination Always Determine the duration, termination options, and what happens to the data after the agreement expires.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

An agreement is only effective if both parties are aware of and comply with the terms. Follow these steps for correct use.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
For the first exchange Sign the agreement before data is shared In this way, the agreements are binding at the moment the data is actually transferred.
Upon change of the data flow Adjust the description and purpose in an addendum The agreement must continue to cover the actual exchange to remain valid.
During the term Limit access and monitor security In the event of an incident, you can demonstrate that you have taken appropriate measures.
Upon termination Delete or return the data as agreed Unnecessary retention of data increases the risk and may be in violation of the GDPR.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

Data exchange often goes wrong at the same points. You can prevent the errors below with a good agreement.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
No agreement, only a verbal arrangement In the event of a dispute, it is impossible to prove what was agreed upon Always document the exchange in writing before sharing data.
Goal and scope described too vaguely The recipient uses data more extensively than intended Specify concretely which data is exchanged for which purpose.
Division of roles under the GDPR not defined Unclear who is responsible, with risk of fines Determine whether the parties are controllers or processors and record this.
No agreements regarding security Data breach without liability being settled Agree on concrete security measures and the transport channel.
No retention period agreed upon Data remains with the recipient for an unnecessarily long time Specify how long data may be retained and when it is destroyed.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

The right agreements depend on your situation. Below you will see common situations and what to look out for.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Exchange of personal data You share customer or employee data Pay attention to the legal basis, the division of roles under the GDPR, and appropriate security.
Continuous automated connection Systems continuously exchange data via a connection Pay attention to the availability, error handling, and logging of the exchange.
Exchange with a party outside the EU The recipient is located outside the European Economic Area Note the additional GDPR requirements for transfers to third countries.
Sharing of business-sensitive data It concerns competitively sensitive or confidential information Pay attention to a strong confidentiality clause and limitation of use.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes a data exchange agreement does not suit your situation, or you require an additional document. In these cases, look elsewhere.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
A party processes personal data exclusively on your behalf Data Processing Agreement If the other party is a processor, the GDPR prescribes a processor agreement instead of an exchange agreement.
You primarily want to protect confidentiality Confidentiality Agreement If your sole concern is the confidentiality of shared information, a separate confidentiality agreement is often sufficient.
The exchange is part of a broader collaboration Cooperation Agreement If the parties collaborate on a structural basis, record the remaining agreements in a cooperation agreement as well.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a data exchange agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what data exchange agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a data exchange agreement?
A data exchange agreement is an agreement in which two or more organizations establish arrangements regarding the sharing, exchange, or joint processing of data. It regulates which data is shared, for what purpose, on what legal basis, how long the data may be retained and used, and who is responsible for the security and accuracy of the exchanged data. Data exchange agreements are concluded between healthcare providers sharing patient data, between government bodies and private parties linking public datasets, between companies in a supply chain exchanging production and logistics data, and between research institutions sharing research data. With the emergence of the European Data Act, the Data Governance Act, and the further development of the EHDS (European Health Data Space), the importance of a solid data exchange agreement is rapidly increasing. Our lawyers will draft a data exchange agreement for you that correctly addresses GDPR obligations, protects data trade secrecy, contractually safeguards purpose limitation, and aligns with relevant European data legislation.
When is a data exchange agreement a data processing agreement and when is it not?
This distinction is of great legal importance because GDPR obligations differ for each type of agreement. If organization A shares personal data with organization B, and B processes that data on behalf of A and for the purposes determined by A, then B is a processor and a data processing agreement required pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR. If A and B jointly determine the purposes and means of processing, they are joint controllers and must establish their mutual responsibilities in an agreement pursuant to Article 26 of the GDPR. If A shares personal data with B and B subsequently processes that data for its own purposes, A and B are each separate controllers and a different contractual structure is required. The data exchange agreement must correctly classify the legal relationship. Our lawyers assess the GDPR classification of your data exchange and draft the corresponding contractual structure.
How do you regulate purpose restriction and the prohibition of secondary use?
Purpose limitation is one of the core principles of the GDPR: personal data may only be processed for the purpose for which it was collected or on the basis of a specific legal ground. In a data exchange agreement, the permitted use of the exchanged data must be explicitly and exhaustively described. Points of particular attention include: may the receiving party combine the data with other datasets? May it use the data for the development of models or algorithms? May it commercially exploit the insights or analyses derived from the data? Any use outside the contractually defined purpose is a GDPR violation and potentially also an infringement of intellectual property rights regarding the data. Your agreement must also include a right of audit : the right of the providing party to verify whether the receiving party is indeed using the data solely for the agreed purpose. Our lawyers draft a purpose limitation clause that protects your data.
How do you protect trade secrets and commercially sensitive data?
Not all data exchanged is personal data — it often involves business information, technical data, production data, or commercially sensitive information that qualifies as a trade secret under the Trade Secrets Protection Act (Wbb). Your data exchange agreement must also regulate the protection of non-personal data. The confidentiality obligation of the receiving party must be explicitly and permanently established. The agreement must define confidential data, restrict the persons permitted to access the data, and regulate the consequences of unauthorized disclosure or use. A particular point of attention regarding data exchange with government bodies and public parties is that government information is, in principle, public unless an exception under the Open Government Act (Woo) applies. Our lawyers draft a data protection clause that adequately protects both personal data and commercially sensitive data.
How do you manage security and the data breach protocol?
The exchange of data — especially when it concerns personal data or sensitive business information — requires agreements regarding technical and organizational security measures. Your data exchange agreement must set out the security standards that both parties must comply with: encryption of data during transmission and storage, access control, logging and monitoring, and periodic security assessments. In the event of a data breach or security incident, a clear notification procedure must be in place: within what timeframe does the receiving party inform the providing party of an incident, and who is responsible for reporting to the Data Protection Authority and the data subjects? The duration of the agreement must align the data retention periods with GDPR principles and statutory retention obligations. Our lawyers draft a security and data breach clause that complies with GDPR requirements.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers map out the nature of the data exchanged, the parties, the purposes, and the legal relationship. Based on this, we draft a data exchange agreement that correctly establishes the GDPR qualification, enforces purpose limitation and the prohibition on secondary use, protects data trade secrets, and regulates the security and data breach protocol. We also ensure alignment with your processing register and existing processor agreements.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
