Question about data protection points in a contract

Of course, it depends on the clause that is drafted in your service agreement. Service providers can be considered processors, if the service requires to process personal data on behalf of the controller (i.e., a marketing agency who process personal data of clients of brands they represent) in that case the content of the clause is often determined by the provisions of Article 28 GDPR.

As any clause in contracts can be of course negotiated and you can also propose your own clause where you guarantee to your clients your compliance to GDPR (it can bring an added value to your service).
