[MyData & Open Data] Data Subject = Data Controller - is it common?

[Antti Jogi Poikola]

Hi,

recently I have learned about couple of Finnish digital services (one
related to personal finances and other to personal consumption), where the
juridical arrangement was such that the service provider was not considered
data controller, but only data processor who worked on behalf of the
individual who was at the same time data subject and data controller.

Is this common practice - do you know any cases?

How does this impact to individuals rights over his own data?

What are the implications, pros and cons?

-Jogi
