For the purposes of the GDPR, what role does Remote assume in connection with delivering its services to clients?

Remote acts as a controller, independent of clients. As such, Remote does not choose its role for data protection purposes. In line with relevant guidance, our role is determined on the basis of our actual processing activities. We are of the view that we process personal data as an independent controller, hence why we do not enter into Article 28 GDPR style data processing agreements. Data protection obligations are regulated in s.11 and Appendix 1 of our MSA / the Data Sharing Addendum of our ToS. For further information on our processing activities please read this article.
