This provision establishes the legal responsibility framework for personal data processing. The allocation of controller and processor roles determines which entity bears regulatory compliance obligations under data protection law, including responding to data subject access requests and implementing data protection safeguards.
Users of Checkout.com's services operate under different privacy governance depending on whether they interact with Checkout.com directly (where Checkout.com controls their data) or through a merchant (where the merchant's privacy policy applies and data subject requests must be directed to the merchant). This structure means end customers should direct data access requests to their merchant rather than directly to Checkout.com for transaction-related processing.
