Data Recipient and Processor under GDPR

What is the relationship between a data recipient and a data processor?

Written by Petr Pech

Specifically, there does not need to be any relationship between the recipient and the processor. Above both the recipient
and the processor is the data controller, who provides personal data and defines how it should be further handled.

Example of a recipient and a processor:

Recipient - a shipping company (active — must further process the data)

Processor - ABRA Flexi (passive — we only store the data)
