Spanish term or phrase: Responsable del tratamiento de datos
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.

Accounting data processor


Explanation:
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.

  -> 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.
