Controller: 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; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law. Processor: A natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Legal basis for processing: The following are the legal bases defined by GDPR, at least one of which must apply, for the purpose of processing personal data: 1. The data subject has given their consent; 2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract; 3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject; 4. Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; 5. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; 6.
