A data controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. In other words, the data controller decides the how and why of a data processing operation. A data controller can be a legal person, for example a business, an SME, a public authority, an agency or other body (including the management committee of a community group). https://www.resourcecentre.org.uk/information/data-protection-for-community-groups/
