PII role identification

A small company using cloud services to store and process its customers data, without offering any cloud service, can be considered a PII processor or just a cloud service customer?

Answer:

Its a relative question, depending upon if it has its own data on this cloud service it uses, because:

- When you talk about your own data on the cloud service you use, you are the PII principal. You define by your own how the data can be used.
- When you deal with your customer data on the cloud service you use, you are the PII controller. You receive personal data from customers (the PII principals) and use a third party (the PII processor) to perform operations previously agreed with customers.
