Hi Chris,
"I have been following this discussion with interest. Just think for a
moment who your processors might be. Your Bank,lawyer,accountant,part
time lecturer,security company,debt collection company,temporary
clerk/secretary etc. How can you operate without using a data
processor?"
By dint of the definition of a data controller ("data controller" means,
subject to subsection (4), a person who (either alone or jointly or in
common with other persons) determines the purposes for which and the
manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed;) I'm not
sure there are any data processors.
Does anybody really have a relationship with a third party that makes
NONE of their decisions about how data are, or are to processed. If
there are, as data controller you must spend a lot of time in their IT&S
meetings.
