Question: What are the key differences between 'Data Processing' and 'Data Controller' roles?

Answer: A data controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, while a data processor processes data on behalf of the data controller. Data processing involves any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, and retrieval.

Example:

A cloud service provider processing data on behalf of a company is a data processor.
