Data Sharing Agreements (DSA)
Westbrook Data Protection Services Limited
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
Data Sharing Agreements (DSA) set out how your organisation shares personal data with other parties — while meeting UK GDPR requirements, ICO expectations, and protecting individuals’ rights. Ensuring your data sharing practices are lawful, secure, and clearly understood starts with this agreement in place.
With expert support, we help you create or review DSAs that are clear, proportionate and tailored to your specific data relationships. Whether you’re working with partners, suppliers, or public bodies, we ensure your data sharing is compliant, documented, and risk-aware. The result? Practical, defensible agreements that reduce legal uncertainty, demonstrate accountability, and build trust with stakeholders.

Not sure where to start with your Data Sharing Agreement?
Whether you’re sharing personal data with partners, suppliers, or other controllers, it’s vital to have the right documentation in place. We guide you through the DSA process step by step—helping you define roles, manage risk, and demonstrate accountability under UK GDPR.
Clarity on roles & legal responsibilities
We help you determine whether each party is a controller, joint controller or processor —and ensure your agreements reflect the correct legal obligations. This clarity is essential for accountability and regulatory compliance.
Agreement drafting & documentation
We support you in drafting, reviewing or updating Data Sharing Agreements that clearly define what data is being shared, why, how it’s protected and how long it will be retained — aligned with UK GDPR and ICO expectations.
Risk management & mitigation
Data sharing creates legal and reputational risks if not done properly. We help you identify those risks — such as over-collection, insecure transfer, or lack of transparency — and document the controls and safeguards you’ve put in place.
