The General Data Protection Regulation clearly outlines a distinction between controllers and processors for clear identification. The distinction exists because not all organizations dealing with personal data have the same degree of responsibility.
That said, GDPR defines a controller as “any 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”. Data Controllers are organizations that take all the decisions of the data processing activity. They exercise their control over the processing of personal data that is collected and are ultimately in charge and responsible for the legal processing activity.
