Avoid common compliance traps – Part 3
Continuing from last month’s newsletter, the third common compliance trap that many people fall into is — confusing the roles and responsibilities of the data controller and the data processor. To clarify, the term “data controller” means any person or legal entity involved in determining the purpose and ways of processing the personal data. The term “data processor” means any person or legal entity involved in processing personal data on behalf of the controller.
For example, an e-commerce company collects user information and stores it using a 3rd party cloud service. In this scenario, the e-commerce company is the data controller and the organization running the cloud service is the data processor.
Ultimately, the data controller bears the responsibility for the user data processed, and, therefore, knowing which role applies to you is vital.
If you’re in any way confused about how this applies to your situation, if you have questions about our solutions, or if you’d simply like more information about the GDPR in general, we strongly suggest that you register for our upcoming webinar where you can have your questions answered in real time and learn from our experts.
