Yorkshireman Oct 2, 2018:
Controller - without data As far as I can see, the term should be controller - without data.

Stuart and Aida Nelson Oct 2, 2018:
@ kj - Controller is not normally a person, most of the time, it is a company, institution, etc. The GDPR even speaks of 'joint controllers' but as AllegroTrans has rightly said you can research all of this in the links that John posted in his answer and compare the wording.
Stuart and Aida Nelson Oct 2, 2018:
@ AllegroTrans I'm not saying anything to the contrary. In fact, I you see I have agreed with John's answer. I don't know now what is your point. You're telling the asker to look at the laws....
AllegroTrans Oct 2, 2018:
@ Stuart and Aida As stated in John's answer:

See article 4(7) of the GDPR, controller;

‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data;
Stuart and Aida Nelson Oct 2, 2018:
@ Allegro See question: "How do you translate this when what follows is a company, not a person?"
Stuart and Aida Nelson Oct 2, 2018:
@ kj - just controller You could possibly translate it as

The controller, xxxx (company)
AllegroTrans Oct 2, 2018:
Asker The GDPR is published online in all of the EU working languages. This and all other terms can easily be translated by this means.

data controller

See article 4(7) of the GDPR, controller;

‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data;

If you compare the English and German versions of the text, "verantwortlicher" is (data) "controller" in English

In the sense that the "controller" as defined does not have to be a natural person, but can be a legal person or other body.
