Data Obligations

Designed For:

Users who want to understand the data-related obligations in their contracts.

Purpose:

This screen identifies 7 obligations that may be found in data processing agreements and presents them in a structured format.

Each obligation is broken down into sub-parts, as follows:
1. Responsible Party
2. Obligation Summary (may also include a standardized version of the same, where available)
3. Consequence Summary (may also include a standardized version of the same, where available)
4. Obligation Trigger
5. Trigger Type
6. Obligation Type

Limitations, Assumptions, Details:

This screen has been validated on a majority of data processing agreements, and a small subset of other general commercial agreements. Evaluation on a random sample of 30+ contracts achieved ≥85% precision and ≥90% recall across all questions.  

Some questions return detailed summaries; others return yes/no. This screen may only return a single obligation per question. Standardized outputs are generated only when a single obligation or consequence exists. Time references such as “business days” are ignored. See the user guidance for details on each question.
