Most modern companies act as either a &#8220;controller&#8221; or a &#8220;processor.&#8221; A controller decides why the information is collected. The processor handles the information on behalf of the controller. Consequently, this formal agreement bridges the gap between these two roles.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p> <h2 id=\"why-it-matters\" style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:700;color:#1c2252;margin:36px 0 14px 0;font-family:'Poppins',system-ui,sans-serif;\">Why It Matters<\/h2> <p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Privacy laws carry heavy penalties for non-compliance.
