If a processor determines the purpose and means of processing (rather than acting only on the instructions of the controller) then it will be considered to be a controller and will have the same liability as a controller. • In addition to its contractual obligations to the controller, under the GDPR a processor also has the following direct responsibilities: • not to use a sub-processor without the prior written authorisation of the data controller; • to co-operate with supervisory authorities (such as the ICO); • to ensure the security of its processing; • to keep records of processing activities; • to notify any personal data breaches to the data controller; • to employ a data protection officer; and • to appoint (in writing) a representative within the European Union if needed. If a processor (us) fails to meet any of these obligations or acts outside or against the instructions of the controller, then it may be liable to pay damages in legal proceedings or be subject to fines or other penalties or corrective measures. If a processor uses a sub-processor then it will, as the original processor, remain directly liable to the controller for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations. 18 IT SUPPORT SERVICES – CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS: CONTRACTED HOURS AND MANAGED SUPPORT AGREEMENT Notice of Environment Changes: You agree to notify us at least five business days prior to change management activities affecting either your IT infrastructure or specifically Entitled Devices (whereupon “Entitled Devices” means those devices agreed to be supported under this agreement), including those activities listed below.
