Spanish term or phrase: encargado v responsable del tratamiento
ENCARGADO DEL TRATAMIENTO: la persona física o jurídica, autoridad pública, servicio o cualquier otro organismo que, sólo o conjuntamente con otros, trate datos personales por cuenta del responsable del tratamiento.
El encargado del tratamiento es un tercero (normalmente una empresa pero no necesariamente) que le presta un servicio al responsable del fichero y que para ello requiere acceder a datos del responsable.
Ejemplos típicos de encargados lo son la asesoría laboral, contable o fiscal (que acceden a los datos de empleados, clientes o proveedores de su cliente para asesorarle), empresas de mantenimiento de hardware o software, etc...
El servicio que presta el encargado no tiene porqué ser remunerado.
La relación entre el *****responsable y el encargado**** se debe regular mediante un contrato, cuyo contenido establece el artículo 12 de la LOPD.

Any help on the correct terminology in UK English would be much appreciated.
