Questions about Data Processing Agreement Extractor.

What does the data processing agreement extractor read?

The document number and date, the effective and expiration dates, the data controller name and address, the data processor name and address, the processing purpose, the data categories and data subject categories (arrays), the processing location, and the data retention period.

How is a DPA different from a DPIA?

A DPA (Data Processing Agreement) is the GDPR Article 28 contract between a data controller and a data processor: it sets the processing scope, the sub-processor rules, the technical and organizational measures, and the international transfer mechanism. A DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) is an internal risk study of a processing activity, not a contract between two parties. For the assessment use the DPIA extractor.

How are the sub-processors and security measures returned as tables?

A sub-processors table returns each processor id, name, address, processing activities, and approval date; a security measures table returns each measure id, type, description, and implementation status; a processing activities table returns each activity with its data categories and duration; and a data categories table returns each category name, description, and sensitivity level.

Which GDPR transfer and rights fields come out?

The international transfer mechanism (enum, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or adequacy decision), the SCC version, the supplementary measures (array), the data subject rights (array), the audit rights (boolean), whether sub-processors are approved and whether notification is required, and the data protection officer contact each come back as fields.

What are the file limits and privacy terms?

PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages. The agreement is processed via the Talonic API for extraction only, is not retained for training, and is not shared.

Doing this to one file, or to ten thousand?

The tool reads a single document. The platform reads the whole estate once and keeps it queryable — the same engine, with a memory.

See document data extraction if you run this for legal and commercial teams, or the extraction API if you are building it in.
