Abstract

Abstract • Cloud computing is a well-established and flourishing phenomenon, whose key activity on personal data is the storage thereof. This study analyses the allocation of the controller–processor roles under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the cloud computing actors in the context of the storage of personal data. It examines the current controller–processor model and suggests a joint controllership interpretation to the EU regulators, as a more appropriate allocation of roles in the context of cloud computing. • We argue that the prevailing controller–processor interpretation stems from the current primacy of the purpose criterion, as well as the recognition of consent as a criterion to allocate controllership. This article suggests that cloud providers control some of the essential means of the storage of personal data, thereby shifting part of the control from cloud customers to cloud providers. • If the joint controllership approach was to be followed by the EU regulators, this article argues that it would better reflect the economic and technical reality, and provide a more appropriate responsibility and liability framework for cloud providers and customers, which in turn would enhance the level of protection that data subjects should benefit from under the GDPR.

重新思考云计算背景下GDPR下的角色分配
•云计算是一种成熟且蓬勃发展的现象,其对个人数据的关键活动是存储个人数据。本研究分析了通用数据保护条例(GDPR)下的控制器-处理器角色在个人数据存储背景下对云计算参与者的分配。它检查了当前的控制器-处理器模型,并向欧盟监管机构提出了联合控制器解释,作为云计算背景下更合适的角色分配。•我们认为,普遍的控制者-处理者解释源于当前首要的目的标准,以及承认同意作为分配控制者身份的标准。本文建议云提供商控制个人数据存储的一些基本手段,从而将部分控制权从云客户转移到云提供商。•如果欧盟监管机构遵循联合控制权方法,本文认为,它将更好地反映经济和技术现实,并为云提供商和客户提供更适当的责任和责任框架,这反过来将提高数据主体应从GDPR下受益的保护水平。
