GDPR and SCC roles

The table is tailored under the assumption that myDRE is being used from anDREa BV and was created by Barbara Archbold (Legal Council UMC Utrecht). For more information regarding Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). Disclaimer, always consult your own DPO and Legal.

SCC for anDREa BV applies when anDREa BV actively participates. If members of a workspace use the services provided by anDREa to perform the action, it is the person with the role Accountable for that particular Workspace that is subject to SCC rules and regulations; this is the responsibility of the institute to which the Workspace belongs.

DResearch / collaboration partners of Institute who get access to myDRE through InstituteController, or joint controller in case the GDPR defines them as joint controllers.If these parties transfer data outside the EEA; they are data exporters. They need to sign SCC’s with the receiver/data importer. If they access from outside the EEA = they are a data importer and need to sign SCC’s with the data exporter. That is Institute, not anDREa BV as processor of Institute.Falls under licence of Institute as long as Institute is controller for myDRE and accountable and responsible for their performance of the study/action/workpackage where the data management of myDRE is a part of Institute’s responsibility.

They need to sign SCC’s with the receiver/data importer. If they access from outside the EEA = they are a data importer and need to sign SCC’s with the data exporter. All depending on the actual processing. As Institute cannot be a party, this is superfluous this scheduleIf Institute only processes on behalf of other parties and is a processor a meant under GDPR: this is out of scope of the licence of Institute = the research of collaboration partners (or even the subcontractors) need to purchase their own licence from Protinus or anDREa.
  • MODULE ONE: Transfer controller to controller
  • MODULE TWO: Transfer controller to processor
  • MODULE THREE: Transfer processor to processor
  • MODULE FOUR: Transfer processor to controller
