DPAFlow
01 /For legal teams

Give legal teams the context behind every vendor change

DPAFlow turns a detected vendor change into a dated, reviewable record — the source URL, timestamp, content hash, and the exact wording that moved — so legal can decide whether DPA or contract terms need to follow, and record that decision.

02 /Legal review queue

What lands in a legal reviewer's queue

Legal does not need a firehose of page diffs. DPAFlow routes the changes that may carry contract or DPA implications — each with its source, date, and the section that actually changed.

Changed

Subprocessor list changes

A vendor adds or removes a subprocessor. The captured before / after lands in your queue with its source URL and date.

Changed

DPA page updates

A vendor revises its DPA or terms page. You see the exact wording that moved, not just a vague “something updated.”

Review

New transfer destinations

A new processing location or hosting region appears. Cross-border transfer changes are surfaced for review.

Verified

Sources you can trust

Each item carries an honest source-health state — verified, changed, or unreachable — so you know what is current.

03 /Change context

See the exact before and after — not a vague alert

When a subprocessor list or DPA page changes, the captured record shows the precise wording that was added, removed, or revised, tied to the source URL and the date it changed.

  • The exact captured before / after of the changed section
  • Added and removed entries called out, not buried in the page
  • Tied to the source URL and a UTC capture timestamp
  • A content hash as an integrity check on the capture

04 /Schrems II / TIA handoff

Hand a transfer change to the assessment workflow

When a captured change introduces a new transfer destination, the dated evidence record is handed to the Transfer Impact Assessment workflow — so a Schrems II review starts from the real change, with SCCs and supplementary measures documented against the same evidence.

  • New transfer destinations surfaced from the captured change
  • The dated evidence record carried into the assessment
  • SCCs and supplementary measures documented on the same model
  • The transfer review your team runs stays evidence-backed

05 /Decision record

Document the decision on the record itself

A change is not closed when it is read — it is closed when someone decides. DPAFlow records the reviewer, the decision, dated rationale notes, and the linked evidence, so the judgment your legal team makes stays documented and defensible.

  • The reviewer and a clear decision recorded on the change
  • Dated rationale notes captured in the reviewer's own words
  • Linked to the evidence ID, source URL, and capture date
  • Decision and change context roll up into one audit-ready export

Legal review FAQ

Common questions about how legal teams review vendor changes and record decisions in DPAFlow.

Does DPAFlow give legal advice?

No. DPAFlow does not provide legal advice or make legal decisions. It surfaces dated evidence of a vendor change — the source URL, timestamp, content hash, and the exact before / after wording — and records the decision your lawyers make. Interpretation stays with your legal team.

What change context does a reviewer actually see?

Each item arrives with the captured before / after of the section that changed, the source URL it came from, the capture timestamp in UTC, and a content hash as an integrity check — so a reviewer decides on the real wording, not a vague alert.

Can it monitor DPA pages and subprocessor lists?

Yes. You point DPAFlow at the specific subprocessor lists, DPA pages, and trust-center URLs you need to watch. They are re-checked on a controlled schedule and a dated evidence record is captured when the content changes.

How does a transfer change get handed off?

When a captured change adds a new transfer destination, the dated evidence record can be handed to the Transfer Impact Assessment workflow, where SCCs and supplementary measures are documented against the same evidence — supporting a Schrems II review your team runs.

Where are the decisions stored?

The reviewer, the decision, dated rationale notes, and the linked evidence ID are recorded on the evidence record itself. Decisions and the change context stay together and roll up into an audit-ready export.

Does this replace contract or DPA review?

No. DPAFlow organizes the evidence and records what your team decided. Whether terms must move is a judgment your legal team makes — the product keeps that decision documented and dated, it does not make it for you.

Give legal the change, the context, and the decision in one record

Review the exact wording of a vendor change, hand transfers to the assessment workflow, and keep the decision documented and dated.
