Who is the data processor and when is an appointment needed?

The data processor is the external party that processes personal data on behalf of the company acting as controller, following its instructions.

In the case of a website, this can include hosting providers, newsletter tools, statistics services or connected management systems. When and how to formalise an appointment is a legal assessment: your legal advisor or DPO can tell you how to proceed. This page is for information only.

Providers and website

Who may be involved

For companies in Como, Brianza and Milan the check on providers starts from a clear list.

Our role

A technical list for your advisor

From our studio in Cantù we reconstruct which external services are active on the website and what data they exchange, so that your legal advisor or DPO can assess the appointments. We work together with them on the technical side.

The DPO is the advisory and oversight role for privacy; whether one must be appointed depends on factors such as the type of organisation and the nature of the processing. For a company in Como or Brianza the assessment is up to the legal advisor: from Cantù, we only handle the technical side of the website.

Privacy by design means designing the website with data protection in mind from the start; privacy by default means that default settings collect only the necessary data. For the websites of companies in Cantù and Brianza this translates into essential forms and scripts that run only with consent.

On the technical side, the DPO of a Milan company can be supported by NewVisibility, an agency in Cantù (Como) with an in-house team, our own managed servers and Cookie CMP developed in-house. We implement notices and consents; the legal assessment stays with the DPO. We also work with companies in Como and Lugano.

Accountability under the GDPR is the principle of responsibility: whoever processes personal data must be able to demonstrate how they handle it. For a company website in Como or Brianza it means documenting tools, consents and choices. How to apply it in your case is for you to assess with your legal advisor or DPO.

The data controller is, in general terms, the party that decides why and how the data collected by the website is processed: normally the company that runs it. For businesses in Como and Milan, who it is in a specific case should be assessed with your legal advisor or DPO.
