Part 12: Interpretation and final provisions Interpretation Section 227: "User", "United Kingdom user" and "interested person"
This section defines the terms "user", "United Kingdom user", and "interested person" in relation to regulated services.
	Subsection (1) makes clear that a "United Kingdom user" can be either an individual who is in the United Kingdom, or an entity which is incorporated or formed under the law in any part of the United Kingdom.
	Subsections (3) and (4) outline the circumstances where someone would not be counted as a "user" of a service because they are using the service in the course of the service provider’s business. For example, the intention is that an employee of a social media company would not count as a user if uploading content to the service in the course of their employment, for example a company blog. However, they would count as a user of the service if uploading content to that service in a personal capacity.
	Subsection (7) defines an "interested person" in relation to search services and combined services. This is intended to recognise that these services’ actions may affect people and entities who do not directly use search engines where search engines index their website or database.
