• Controller — the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
• Processor — a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
• Recipient — a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data is disclosed.
• Third party — a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons authorized to process personal data under the controller or processor's direct authority.
• Consent — any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes signifying agreement to processing of personal data relating to them.
