Spanish term

Responsable del tratamiento de datos

Non-PRO Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting EDI - e-Billing
Spain/LatAm. "Responsable" is usually some sort of manager, so I'm considering the literal translation (Data Processing Manager), but other sources are suggesting "Data Controller" (but wouldn't that be "controlador de datos??). All suggestions welcome.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Context: Bus/Financial - Accounting / EDI - e-Billing. I wonder which part of that you failed to grasp. Also, Your rebuttal contains 7 instances of "you", which I consider ad hominem micro-aggressions towards my person. If you have nothing more helpful to suggest, I'd appreciate it if you would get off my case.
philgoddard Oct 5, 2023:
Also, you haven't given the context. I assume this is about data protection.
philgoddard Oct 5, 2023:
You should also look up the term in the glossary, and Google it. Or you can combine the two by searching for the phrase plus "Proz", in which case the first hit gives you one of the previous questions.

The rules say you're meant to research terms yourself before posting them.

And putting one word in caps is a form of emphasis. Putting whole sentences in caps is shouting.
neilmac (asker) Oct 5, 2023:
@phil Please refrain from telling me I MUST do things, especially in all caps, which in online communication, as I'm sure you are aware, is equivalent to shouting. Normally when a term has been posted/answered previously, an alert comes up from the website, and in this case it didn't happen.

Data Controller

Lots of stuff on this.
Note from asker:
Cheers. A search for "controlador de datos" gets 8,870,000 hits, which is what was putting me off...

Accounting data processor

What is accounting data processing?

Processing accounting data involves calculations, classification, summarization, and consolidation. In manual accounting systems, this processing occurs through the established manual methods and the recording, posting, and closing steps in the journals and ledgers.
Peer comment(s):

disagree philgoddard : This is official EU terminology, and Peter's is the only correct answer.

That's not the point. A controller doesn't process accounting data
disagree patinba : The term concerns the handling of personal data, not accounting data.

How do you know it? Asker submitted his expression under the accounting category.
