It shows the public evidence that may support each UK GDPR requirement that reaches vendors: evidence was found or is available on request for use processors that provide sufficient guarantees (Article 28(1)), put processing under a written contract (Article 28(3)), know and control sub-processors (Article 28(2) and (4)), transfer data outside the uk lawfully (Articles 44 to 46).

What should I ask Clay for?

Request data processing agreement, and confirm each is current.

This maps third-party obligations to the vendor evidence that may support them. It is not legal advice and never a statement that a vendor or its customers comply; confirm scope and sufficiency with your counsel or auditor. “No public evidence” means nothing public was found at the last check. Citations link to the official text.

Requirements reviewed 21 Sep 2026. The vendor lists the evidence on its trust centre behind a request or NDA; ask for it.
