Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the provision of software as a service in terms of data protection. The author discusses possible roles of a client and a provider of software as a service in terms of protection of personal data, summarizes the requirements on contents of the contract between the client as a controller and the provider as a processor of personal data and compares the contracts for Google Apps for Work and Microsoft Office 365 in the light of these requirements. As a conclusion are provided considerations de lege ferenda and critical evaluation of the prepared amendment to the European data protection regulation in the context of cloud computing.
