"Last updated: January 13, 2026Excerpt from Synthesia's Data Processing Agreement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Article 28 requires that processor agreements remain current and accurately reflect the processing arrangement. Material changes to sub-processor lists, transfer mechanisms, or security measures may require updated contractual documentation. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Organizations relying on a prior DPA version should assess whether the January 13, 2026 update constitutes a material change requiring updated execution or notification under their internal vendor management processes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK organizations should assess whether the updated DPA maintains adequate transfer safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or UK International Data Transfer Agreements, if those mechanisms were included in prior versions. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendor management programs should flag the January 13, 2026 update for review and confirm whether re-execution is required. Contract lifecycle management systems should be updated to reflect the current version date. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should request a redline or summary of changes from Synthesia if material differences between the prior and current versions are not readily apparent, particularly regarding sub-processor authorizations or international transfer mechanisms.
