Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Art. 28(3)(b), which requires that processors process data only on documented controller instructions, and Art. 82, which governs joint and several liability between controllers and processors. Under CCPA §1798.140(ag), a 'service provider' (Mixpanel's role) is shielded from certain liability only where the controller has not directed unlawful processing — this indemnification reinforces that allocation. FTC Act Section 5 is relevant where customer data practices involve deceptive tracking. (2)
