Sub-Processors: Permission, Notice and Objection

A supplier often needs other companies to run its app. This chapter shows how a new one comes in, and what happens if the customer objects.

≈ 6 min read 8-question test

In this chapter

  • When a supplier may bring in other companies, and on what permission
  • How notice and objection work when a new company is planned
  • Why each company in the chain carries the supplier’s own duties

6.1Sub-processors in one paragraph

Tennerby does not run its app alone. One company hosts the data, and another sends the shift texts. Each is a sub-processor: a processor that Tennerby uses for Corrandale’s data.

Later, Tennerby plans to move the texts abroad. Corrandale objects to that plan. This chapter follows the notice and the objection.

Key point

A new sub-processor needs notice first, and the customer may object. Each one takes on the supplier’s duties, and the supplier answers for it.

Also in this chapter

  1. General permission instead of approving each company
  2. The notice and the objection
  3. The same duties down the chain
  4. Your job
