Last week, we distinguished between a data processor, data controller and data subjects. We learnt that the data processor is someone who handles personal data on behalf of a data controller. While data controllers determine the purpose and means of processing, data processors handle data on behalf of the controller. However, data processors are not merely passive entities- they have legally binding obligations under the Bill. This week, we shift our focus to the responsibilities of data processors, especially in light of contractual requirements and the recording of processing activities.
