Data Controller
A data controller is a natural or legal person that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Full Definition
The controller bears primary responsibility for the lawfulness of processing — they must have a legal basis for each processing activity, inform data subjects, respond to their rights (access, erasure, portability) and conclude a DPA with processors. Typically the controller is a company that collects and uses personal data of customers or employees.
