Definitions
The fundamental definitions as defined by GDPR are reiterated and commented here:
- Personal Data: Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data. For example, in its recruitment activities, Your Edge collects, among other information, a name and surname, an email address and a mobile phone.
- Data Controller: The data controller determines the purposes for which and the means by which personal data is processed. So, if a company/organization decides “why” and “how” personal data should be processed, the company is a data controller. Employees processing personal data within the company do so to fulfil the tasks of the company. Your Edge is a data controller of some of your personal data, as specified in this Personal Data Privacy Policy, our Cookies and Tracking Policy and our Recruitment Privacy Policy.
- Data Processor: The data processor processes personal data only on behalf of the controller. The data processor is usually a third party external to the company. Being a data controller, Your Edge takes care of that a contract or another legal act effectively covers the duties of these third-party data processors towards Your Edge. For example, the contract must indicate what happens to the personal data once the contract is terminated.
