Your Data, Your Rights
Data Controllers
In data protection, a data controller is an entity that decides why and how personal data is processed, bearing the main responsibility for compliance with data protection laws. They set the purpose and methods for data processing, ensuring legality and security, and handling individual data rights.
Data Processors
A data processor, on the other hand, is an entity that processes data on behalf of the controller. They act under the controller's instructions and have specific obligations, particularly regarding data security.
Data Subjects
People whose personal information are collected, stored and processed are called data subjects. Know your rights and learn how to protect your data privacy, online and offline.
