When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

sous-traitant ultérieur = sub-processor
To answer your final question explicitly, yes, there is a difference between "sous-traitant" and "sous-traitant ultérieur" - the sous-traitant is a data processor to whom the "responsable" or controller entrusts processing of the data for which they are responsible. The sous-traitant ultérieur or sub-processor is one more down the chain of delegation: a party to whom the sous-traitant entrusts processing duties in turn.
The easiest way to find the equivalent terms in data protection legislation is simply to compare the FR and EN versions of the legislation, which are freely available online.

The EUR-Lex site offers multilingual view of legislation, so you can see the FR and EN side by side and check each term. Here, for example, is the GDPR/RGPD in EN/FR view:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN-FR/TXT/?uri=CELEX...
Il appartient au sous-traitant de s’assurer que le sous-traitant ultérieur présente les mêmes garanties suffisantes quant à la mise en œuvre de mesures techniques et organisationnelles appropriées de manière à ce que le traitement réponde aux exigences du règlement européen sur la protection des données.
Cette sous-traitance ne peut être effectuée que si le responsable de traitement n'a pas émis d'objection ou de demandes d’informations pendant le délai convenu.
