Behandlingsansvarlige

English translation: Data Controller (UK)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Norwegian term or phrase:Behandlingsansvarlige
English translation:Data Controller (UK)

Law/Patents - Law (general)
Norwegian term or phrase: Behandlingsansvarlige
From the Lov om behandling av personopplysninger (personopplysningsloven)

... 5.3 Den behandlingsansvarliges informasjonsplikt overfor de registrerte

I've seen behandlingsansvarlige translated as "data controllers," but that sounds odd to me. I would think something more along the lines of "entity responsible for the collection and retention of the data" -- but is that too long?

Any suggestions or comments?

It appears that Data Controller works for the UK - but I would suggest being careful when using this term for such entities/individuals located outside of the UK

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. Yes, I've seen that -- but to me 'controller' sounds to vague and imprecise, and also makes me think the term in the sense of a 'financial controller.'


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Christopher Schröder: It's up to you Charles to decide what's best in your context, but this is what they want to call it, you could put "data controller" in inverted commas or "data controller for the purposes of the Personal Data Act" perhaps

  -> Thanks, Chris S. If the law (personoplysningsloven) is the context, I feel it is not necessary to qualify the 'controller'.
