Section 14: Data sharing contracts and agreements
Even between public bodies, there should be information sharing contracts in place that make clear the information governance arrangements that must be in place for each party. The HSCIC Data Sharing Contract.
Some circumstances require a data sharing contract and these are between a data controller and data processor or an Accredited Safe Haven (see Section 13).
Other circumstances will require a data sharing agreement, for example in data controller to data controller disclosures where there is a lawful basis for disclosure.
There may be circumstances where a data controller wishes to control how a recipient data controller may use the data, in which case a contract may be appropriate with penalties for failure to comply with the requirements.
