Document background
The Data Exchange Agreement is essential for organizations engaging in systematic data sharing or transfer operations under German jurisdiction. This document becomes necessary when parties need to establish a formal framework for sharing data, whether for business operations, research, analytics, or other purposes. It addresses critical aspects required by German and EU law, including data protection, security measures, and processing obligations. The agreement is particularly relevant in today's digital economy where data sharing is increasingly common but must comply with strict European and German data protection regulations. It includes specific provisions required under the GDPR and BDSG, technical specifications for data transfer, security protocols, and clear delineation of responsibilities between parties. The document is designed to protect both the data provider and recipient while ensuring regulatory compliance.
