(1) A processor shall adhere to the instructions of a controller and shall assist the controller to meet the controller's obligations under sections 6-1-1308.5 and 6-1-1309.5, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to the processor. The processor shall assist the controller by:
(a) Taking appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfillment of the controller's obligations under section 6-1-1308.5; and
(b) Providing information to enable the controller to conduct and document data protection assessments pursuant to section 6-1-1309.5.
(2) A contract between a controller and a processor must satisfy the requirements in section 6-1-1305(5).
(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve a controller or processor from the liabilities imposed on the controller or processor by virtue of the controller's or processor's role in the processing relationship as described in sections 6-1-1308.5 and 6-1-1309.5.
(4) Determining whether a person is acting as a controller or processor with respect to a specific processing of data is a fact-based determination that depends upon the context in which personal data is to be processed. A person that is not limited in the person's processing of personal data pursuant to a controller's instructions, or that fails to adhere to the instructions, is a controller and not a processor with respect to a specific processing of data. A processor that continues to adhere to a controller's instructions with respect to a specific processing of personal data remains a processor. If a processor begins, alone or jointly with others, determining the purposes and means of the processing of personal data, the processor is a controller with respect to the processing and may be subject to an enforcement action under section 6-1-1311.
