Is there any possibility that the company in the USA is a Data Controller of
your data? By which I mean do they make any decisions about the processing,
or do they work solely under your instructions?
Does the data ever leave their hands and get passed to anyone else outside
the EEA, or is it restricted to their company alone?

Subject: [data-protection] Personal data held in US
Apologies, this may well have been covered in previous postings.
A colleague has enquired as to our obligations if we use an external company
to provide a service using personal student data and the company stores and
processes the data in the US.
What contractual agreements should be in place?
