Are we a data processor or controller?

My company rents out office space and meeting rooms to other organisations. So those organisation are our customers with whom we have a contractual relationship. As part of the office space rental, the staff at the organisations can book meeting rooms. This means that we process the name, contact email and organisation name so that we know who is renting office space, who to bill, and who can book meeting rooms. In this situation, are we a controller or a processor? Should we be signing a data processing addendum?

Answer:

For the billing part you don't need to do anything as both you and the customers are data controllers for separate processing activities. As regards to he data of your customers employees which you process for the purpose of booking meeting rooms you are doing that as a data processor.

For the last instance the controller should be the one responsible for engaging you to sign a DPA.
