Legal Definitions

A controller determines relevant purposes and means under an applicable privacy framework; a processor handles data on behalf of a controller. A license grants specified permission, while ownership and authority are different concepts. A policy, draft and executed agreement also have different status.

These explanations are educational shorthand. The relevant law or operative document may define a term differently and should be consulted before relying on it.

No definition in this guide amends Remizen’s existing Terms or Privacy Policy. It makes no universal determination about Remizen’s legal roles.

An agreement records terms between parties when the relevant formation requirements are satisfied. A policy describes an organization’s adopted position or rules within its scope. A draft is proposed language that should not be treated as final or approved.

Authority concerns whether a person may act for another party in the relevant matter. Signing in to an account or holding a business title does not necessarily establish contract-signing or payment authority.

Controller and processor are legal-role concepts whose meaning depends on the relevant framework and actual activity. A subprocessor performs applicable processing for a processor; not every commercial supplier is a subprocessor.

Personal information is information covered by the relevant privacy law’s definition. A transfer assessment examines movement or relevant access across jurisdictions and cannot be resolved from storage location alone.

A license grants specified permission to use protected material; it need not transfer ownership. Copyright and trademark protect different interests and have different conditions and exceptions. Public availability of material does not by itself authorize every reuse.
