Easy to remember the role: Owner (D): The hospital (owns and controls the data). Processor (A): The cloud service provider (processes the data on behalf of the hospital). Custodian (B): The IT team (manages the technical aspects of the data). Subject (C): The patient (the individual whose data is being collected). The question says: Which of the following data roles describes the customer? So, the customer is always a SUBJECT.
Data is object person interacting with object is subject
The Marketing Department Head or other senior-level manager is likely something like the Data Protection Officer or Owner, responsible for the data. The Infrastructure Team are likely the Custodians. The data is likely being collected and processed by lower-level employees and/or automated processes. These would be the Data Processors. That leaves the customer whose data is being collected. They aren't the owners of their own data (like others have stated), but they are the data subject. So C is the most accurate answer.
