What happens if a company refuses to provide/sign a data sharing agreement.

[PotNoodleTech]

This is hypothetical, it hasn't happened yet.

 

I know that if they refuse, we should not use them full stop. But what if we were already using them and they already have some of our data, how would be go about making sure that they delete it? I mean this is getting in to the realm of requiring a solicitor/lawyer isn't it?

Sorry to hijack. Does anyone have a data sharing agreement I could look at please?

 

We are employing a compliance officer at our trust for this, but would be good to get stuff to hit the ground running.

 

Thanks

The ICO has their draft guidance on liability and contracts between controller and processor.

Google have updated their data processing arrangement, but many companies are waiting to see what happens in the DP bill, and any subsequent guidance from ICO as a result.

So at the moment, if a company said to me - "no We do not have a data sharing agreement and we wont have one until May 2018" there's nothing really we can do is there other then choose whether to use them (which won't be my choice it'll be higher up).

I'm more than happy to edit my post out in order for you have your article be a "first" as long as some form of financial recompense is agreed first

I think the short answer is "the company goes bust".

 

As it gets nearer to May, if they're still not playing ball maybe start to look at alternatives, but it would be professional suicide not to be GDPR compliant so I wouldn't put this hypothetical particularly far my the list of things to worry about.

Lol, no worries ... I am going throgh and chatting with some suppliers on this already, as well as raising it via BESA. I'd rather have positions from both sides before posting it, but yes ... schools need to ask, suppliers need to work on it but the exact time of delivery fro the supplier will vary depending on the complexity of what they are processing. Just think ... Scholarpack will differ to SamLearning, Show My Homework will differ to ParentPay.

Show My Homework will differ to ParentPay.

On that I've no doubt at all.
