A software company, like Microsoft, would be defined as one of the following if it collects personal data from employees and processes data collected by commercial customers:
  1. Data controller
  2. Data processor
  3. Both A and B
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - A software company cannot typically be a data controller and data processor of the same data. It can, however, be a controller of one data set and a processor of another. If the company collects personal data from employees, it is the controller of employee data. If the company processes data collected by commercial customers, it is a processor of that data.
