Processing Service

A Service is a Processing Service if it processes Personal Data solely on behalf of a Controlling Service.

It carries out the processing as instructed by the Controlling Service and does not take any initiative in defining or changing its purposes or means.

A Processing Service may become a Controlling Service if it decides to process the data in ways that go beyond or differ from the instructions given by the Controlling Service.

A Service can act as both Controlling and Processing Service for different processing operations.
