1. Explain the GDPR's Data Controller versus Data Processor and the
responsibilities or accountabilities for each and the overall Supervisory
Authority.
According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) data controller is a
legal individual, agency, civic authority or any other organization which unaccompanied
or conjointly with others determine the resolutions and means of the handling private data
while processor is a legitimate person, agency, public power or any other organization
that is tasked with the responsibility of processing private data on behalf of the controller.
Both the controller and process have an obligation to share data protection (Mantelero,
2013). The controller is the main party tasked with the responsibility of collecting data
like collecting persons consent, allowing the right to access, and data storage. The
controller has the capacity to illustrate compliance with the standards that relates to the
processing of private data. On the other hand, the processor upon request has to obliterate
or take back all private information to the controller once the contract comes to an end.
The processor can only transfer personal information to a third nation on receiving legal
authorization.
2. What are the rules under the new GDPR 2018 Data Retention Law that affect

A processor or controller that is not established in the EU is subject to the GDPR if it happens
that the processing undertakings are connected to the delivery of products and services to
information subjects within the EU.
The processor or controller not established in the EU is liable to the GDPR when it processes
personal data that is subject to the EU.
The penalties for non-compliance as stated under article 5 of the GDPR include fine of up to
10 million euros for privacy infringement (Tikkinen-Piri, Rohunen, & Markkula, 2018).
