What is not considered remote data processing?
The following are not considered remote data processing:
- Remote processing of data that isn't fed back into the product (such as telemetry data).
- Websites that do not support the function of the product (by contrast with websites that support a function, such as providing an authentication page).
- Data processing that supports the manufacturer’s own operations (such as payroll systems, customer relationship management, or other administrative systems).
Note
Note that you might still be subject to other EU regulation even if you fall out of scope of the remote data processing requirements of the CRA.
