3. Data Controller vs. Data Processor
Under the GDPR and similar laws, it is important to distinguish between the "Data Controller" and the "Data Processor":
- Easy Install Solar CRM as the Data Controller: For the personal data of our website visitors, prospects, and the direct account/billing information of our subscribing customers, Easy Install Solar CRM acts as the Data Controller. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing this data.
- Easy Install Solar CRM as the Data Processor: For the operational data uploaded into the platform by our customers (such as job data, client records, attachments, and field communications), the Customer acts as the Data Controller. We process this data strictly on their behalf as a Data Processor to provide the service. Customers are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate legal basis to collect and store their clients' information within the platform.
