What is a DPA and How Do I Sign It?

DPA stands for Data Processing Agreement.

It is a legal agreement that governs how personal data is shared between your organization (the Data Controller) and Edge Factor (the Data Processor).

What Does the DPA Cover?

The DPA outlines:

  • Confidentiality and privacy practices

  • Use of sub-processors

  • Data breach notification procedures

  • The right to audit

  • Data transfers and subject access requests

  • Law enforcement disclosures

  • Retention, return, and deletion of personal data

  • Security and privacy contacts

  • Categories of personal data and data subjects

  • Security measures taken by Edge Factor

Who Does the DPA Apply To?

Any organization using Edge Factor who provides personal data for others (e.g., students, educators) is considered a Data Controller and is subject to the DPA.

How Do We Agree to the DPA?

You automatically agree to the DPA when you create an Edge Factor account and accept our Privacy Agreement.

Why Is This Important?

As the Data Controller, your organization:

  • Determines what personal data is shared

  • Chooses which platform features are enabled

  • Remains responsible for ensuring compliance with data protection laws

Edge Factor acts as the Data Processor, helping protect your users’ data in line with the EU GDPR and other applicable regulations.
