The Data Protection Contract is essential for organizations engaging in personal data processing activities within Belgium's jurisdiction. This document is required whenever one party (the data processor) processes personal data on behalf of another party (the data controller) under Belgian law. It ensures compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Belgian Data Protection Act of 2018, addressing key requirements such as data security, breach notification, sub-processing, and international transfers. The contract is particularly crucial given Belgium's role as a key EU jurisdiction and home to many European institutions, requiring strict adherence to both national and EU data protection standards. It should be used to establish clear responsibilities, liabilities, and operational procedures for handling personal data, while incorporating specific Belgian legal requirements and supervisory authority guidelines.
