Question 1

What does a custom GDPR Employment Agreement Addendum include?

Accepted Answer

Your custom GDPR addendum will include:

• Processing purposes and lawful bases under UK GDPR
• Data categories collected and processed
• Retention periods for different data types
• Details of processors and international transfers (where applicable)
• Employee rights (access, rectification, erasure, objection)
• Consent clauses with clear withdrawal mechanisms
• Security and confidentiality obligations
• Cross-references to your privacy notice and internal policies

Each section is tailored specifically to your organization's data processing activities and aligned with UK GDPR requirements.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days from the date you complete the questionnaire we send after checkout.

The process works like this:
• Complete checkout and payment
• Receive questionnaire within 24 hours
• Complete questionnaire (typically 15-20 minutes)
• Receive first draft within 3 business days
• Request any revisions needed
• Receive final version ready for signature

Express delivery (1 business day) is available as an add-on option.

Question 3

Who drafts the GDPR addendum?

Accepted Answer

Your addendum is drafted by licensed UK solicitors with expertise in employment law and data protection.

Our team includes:
• Solicitors qualified in England & Wales
• Specialists in UK GDPR and data protection
• Experience with employment law compliance
• Track record drafting addendums for 6000+ businesses

Every document is reviewed for accuracy and compliance before delivery.

Question 4

How do you gather the information needed?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we send you a detailed AI-powered questionnaire that asks about:

• Your organization's processing purposes
• Categories of employee data you collect
• Data retention periods
• Processors or third parties you share data with
• International transfers (if any)
• Current privacy notice and policies
• Any special categories of data processed

The questionnaire is intuitive and typically takes 15-20 minutes to complete. Your answers help us draft a precisely tailored addendum.

Question 5

Can this be attached to existing employment agreements?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. The addendum is designed to supplement existing employment contracts.

It can:
• Be signed as a standalone variation to current contracts
• Reference your existing employment agreement terms
• Cross-reference your current privacy notice
• Be issued to existing employees or new hires
• Work alongside your other employment documentation

We'll draft it in a format that integrates smoothly with your existing agreements.

Question 6

How many revisions are included?

Accepted Answer

We include reasonable revisions at no extra cost.

You can request:
• Clarifications to any clauses
• Changes to reflect your feedback
• Updates based on your legal team's review
• Amendments to align with your policies

Our goal is to deliver an addendum you're completely satisfied with. Most clients need only 1-2 rounds of minor revisions.

Question 7

Can I speak to a solicitor about the addendum?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After receiving your draft, you can:

• Request a video consultation to discuss the addendum
• Ask questions via email about specific clauses
• Get guidance on implementation and rollout
• Discuss employee consent collection procedures

While we can't provide ongoing legal advice, we're available to clarify the addendum and answer questions about its use.

Question 8

What makes this different from a template?

Accepted Answer

Unlike generic templates, your addendum is:

✓ Custom-drafted by a UK solicitor based on your specific processing activities
✓ Tailored to your organization's data categories and purposes
✓ Aligned with your existing privacy notice and policies
✓ Updated with current UK GDPR requirements
✓ Reviewed for completeness and compliance
✓ Written in clear, accessible language employees can understand
✓ Includes your organization's name and specific details throughout

Templates require extensive modification and often miss important details. A custom addendum is ready to use immediately.

Question 9

Does the addendum comply with UK GDPR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every addendum is drafted to comply with:

• UK GDPR (retained EU law post-Brexit)
• Data Protection Act 2018
• ICO guidance on employee data processing
• UK employment law requirements
• Lawful basis requirements for different processing types
• Transparency and fairness principles

We stay current with ICO guidance and regulatory updates to ensure your addendum meets all compliance requirements.

Question 10

Can an employee withdraw consent later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The addendum includes a clear consent withdrawal mechanism.

We'll draft clauses that:
• Explain how employees can withdraw consent
• Clarify which processing activities rely on consent vs. other lawful bases
• Outline what happens if consent is withdrawn
• Reference your procedures for handling withdrawal requests
• Ensure compliance with ICO guidance on consent

This protects both your organization and your employees' rights under UK GDPR.

Question 11

Do we still need a privacy notice or Data Processing Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The addendum complements but doesn't replace:

• Your employee privacy notice (required under UK GDPR Article 13/14)
• Data Processing Agreements with any processors you use
• Your organization's data protection policies
• Records of processing activities

The addendum works alongside these documents to provide employees with clear consent terms and acknowledgement of their rights. We can cross-reference your existing privacy notice in the addendum.

Question 12

What happens after I receive the final addendum?

Accepted Answer

Once finalized, you receive:

• Microsoft Word version (editable for future needs)
• PDF version (for distribution to employees)
• Implementation guidance notes
• Signature page templates
• Advice on rollout to existing employees

You can then:
1. Issue the addendum to employees for signature
2. Collect signed acknowledgements
3. Store signed copies with employment files
4. Use for all new hires going forward

The addendum becomes a permanent part of your employment documentation.
