Data Controllers
In the first part of this lesson, we introduce the roles assigned by the GDPR to stakeholders involved in data flows in and out of an organization. In the second part, we focus on the key role of the Data Controller.
Data Processors
Whenever your organisation uses a vendor for processing personal data, e.g., a software provider for a CRM system, the data handled by this vendor must align with your GDPR compliance.
Joint Controllers & Recipients
In some business partnerships, partners collaboratively decide why and how to process personal data, thereby acting as Joint Controllers. At other times, data may be transferred to a partner who independently determines the purposes and methods for processing the personal data, making them Recipients.
