AgileCase and the GDPR - Last Updated, 27th February 2026AgileCase complies with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where applicable, we also comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).
The GDPR governs how organisations collect, use and protect personal data. As a UK-based software provider processing personal data on behalf of our customers, we recognise our responsibilities under applicable data protection law and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to meet those obligations.
This page explains the respective roles of AgileCase and our customers under Data Protection Legislation and outlines how we approach international data transfers.
AgileCase as the Data ProcessorWhen using AgileCase, customers may upload or input information into the Service that includes personal data relating to their own clients, service users or other individuals.
In these circumstances:
- The customer acts as the Data Controller, determining the purposes and means of processing personal data.
- AgileCase acts as the Data Processor, processing personal data on the customer’s documented instructions for the purpose of providing the Service.
The relationship between the Data Controller and Data Processor is governed by our Terms and Conditions, which include a data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the UK GDPR and, where applicable, the EU GDPR.
AgileCase processes personal data only:
- In accordance with the instructions set out in our Terms and Conditions;
- For the purpose of delivering and supporting the Service; and
- In compliance with applicable Data Protection Legislation.
Customers remain responsible for ensuring that they have a lawful basis for collecting and processing personal data and for complying with their obligations as Data Controllers.
Data TransfersWhere personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA), Data Protection Legislation requires that appropriate safeguards are in place.
The majority of AgileCase infrastructure is located within the United Kingdom and the EEA. Where we engage subprocessors or service providers that involve transfers of personal data outside these territories, we ensure that such transfers are made in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
- The UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA);
- The UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses;
- The European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (2021 version);
- An adequacy decision issued by the relevant authority; or
- Other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable Data Protection Legislation.
We maintain an up-to-date list of our
subprocessors, including the nature of the services they provide, on our website. We assess subprocessors carefully before engagement and require them to implement appropriate data protection and security measures consistent with our contractual and regulatory obligations.
AgileCase as the Data ControllerAgileCase acts as a Data Controller in respect of personal data that we collect directly, including information relating to users of our website and web application, customer contacts, billing contacts and prospective customers.
We process personal data as Data Controller where necessary:
- for the performance of a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR);
- to comply with our legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR), including accounting, taxation and regulatory compliance; and
- for our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), provided that such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Legitimate InterestsWhere we rely on legitimate interests as a lawful basis, these may include:
- improving and developing our services;
- ensuring the reliability, integrity and security of our systems and infrastructure;
- preventing fraud, misuse or unauthorised access;
- responsible promotion and marketing of our services to business customers.
Where required by law, we will obtain consent before sending electronic marketing communications.
As a Data Controller, AgileCase is committed to respecting and facilitating the rights of individuals under Data Protection Legislation, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability.

What is AgileCase doing for the GDPRAgileCase implements and maintains appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to ensure that personal data is processed securely, lawfully and transparently.
Internal Processes, Security and GovernanceWe maintain internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance with Data Protection Legislation. This includes:
- mapping and reviewing data flows within our systems;
- applying principles of data minimisation and privacy by design;
- restricting access to personal data to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis;

Access to Customer Data processed in our role as Data Processor is limited to authorised personnel and only where necessary for the performance of contractual obligations.
When engaging third-party service providers, we assess their security and privacy posture and require appropriate contractual protections. We limit the use of subprocessors where reasonably practicable and seek to use infrastructure located within the UK and EEA where appropriate.
