Updates to our Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

We're writing to let you know that we've updated DigitalOcean's Data Processing Agreement (DPA) incorporating new Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

We recommend reading through the updated terms for yourself, but here's a summary:

We made changes to our DPA to more clearly define the roles and responsibilities of you as the customer and our responsibility as DigitalOcean. Additionally, we have new Controller-to-Controller and Controller-to-Processor Schedules in our DPA for you to review.
We have included the new versions of the SCCs within our updated DPA. Section 4.1 of our DPA incorporates the updated SCCs.
We have created a Schrems II FAQ page to help answer questions.
We have implemented a new support process for accessing more sensitive data within your droplet console. Non-EU-based DigitalOcean employees will be unable to access droplet consoles of resources located in EU data centers. Any requests for droplet console access will be routed through EU-based DigitalOcean employees.

These updated terms will take effect on September 27, 2021, and your continued usage of our platform will be considered consent to the updated Data Processing Agreement.

If you have any questions, please contact us here or reply to this email and we'll be happy to help!

Thank you,

DigitalOcean Privacy Team
