Data-protection addendum outline
An outline of the clauses a data-protection addendum to an event-app contract usually needs, in 28 lines: roles, purposes, data categories, sub-processors, security, deletion and audits. A government or protocol office can use it to brief counsel; it is a structure, not legal advice.

How to use it
- Open the outline beside the main contract and mark each clause Agreed, Needs change or Not applicable.
- Complete the Detail column with the specifics for your occasion: data types, hosting region, retention days.
- Send the marked outline to the vendor before the call so both sides argue over wording, not scope.
- Have counsel convert the agreed lines into contract language.

Where it has been used
The outline reflects questions asked while preparing an app for a state-level government workshop, where delegate data handling had to be written down before approval.
Questions people ask
Is this a legal document I can sign?
No. It is an outline to organise a conversation and to brief counsel. Contract wording, governing law and liability limits need legal drafting that fits your jurisdiction and the actual data involved.
Which clause matters most for a one-day workshop?
Retention and deletion. Short events collect data for a short purpose, so name the day after which attendee data is removed and who confirms it in writing.
Do we need a list of sub-processors?
Yes. Ask for the name, purpose and location of each third party touching attendee data, such as hosting, messaging and email, and a notice period before any change.
