Questions people ask about Equinix

Where is Equinix's DPA?: Equinix publishes its customer data processing agreement at https://docs.equinix.com/shared-responsibilities/mgdsolns-dpa/.
Is Equinix's DPA the same thing as a data processing addendum?: Yes. A data processing agreement and a data processing addendum are two names for the document Article 28 of the GDPR requires between a controller and a processor; vendors use both, and some call it processor terms. What it has to contain does not change with the name. Equinix's is at https://docs.equinix.com/shared-responsibilities/mgdsolns-dpa/.
Where is Equinix's sub-processor list?: Equinix publishes the list of its own sub-processors at https://docs.equinix.com/shared-responsibilities/mgdsolns-sub-processor-list/.
Which legal entity does Equinix contract through?: Equinix, Inc., registered in United States. That is the name to put in a record of processing or a sub-processor list, not the brand.
Where is Equinix's trust center?: Equinix publishes it at https://www.equinix.com/about/trust-security. A trust center, trust page or security page is the same thing under different names: the vendor's own account of how it protects data, and the place it keeps its certifications. It is Equinix's page, so we link to it rather than repeat what it says.
