EDPB: Danish Standard Contractual Clauses Published in the Register for Decisions

The final version of the standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for contracts between controller and processor submitted by the Danish Supervisory Authority has been published in the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) Register for Decisions.

They have been adopted by the Danish Supervisory Authority under article 28(8) GDPR allowing the Supervisory Authority to adopt standard processor agreements.

Controller or Processor?

Controller or Processor?

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), any person (including organisations) handling personal data is subject to a different level of obligations and responsibilities with regard to the personal data processing operations they carry out depending on whether they are acting as a processor, a controller or a joint controller.

Indeed, all their GDPR obligations and responsibilities stem from their role and may, as a result, differ greatly. In broad words, controllers bear most responsibilities while  processors must only act under the instructions of the controller and therefore, bear much less responsibility on its shoulders.
