Tips

usage
控制者 is the standard agent-noun form: 控制 (to control) + (-er/-or, person who does the action). Common in legal, corporate, and technical contexts — particularly in data protection law where 数据控制者 / 个人信息控制者 corresponds to GDPR's "data controller". For people who control by force (rulers, dictators), 统治者 (tǒngzhìzhě) is more idiomatic.
grammar
The suffix turns verbs into agent nouns: (do) → 作者 (author), (read) → 读者 (reader), (record) → 记者 (reporter). This pattern is highly productive in formal Chinese.
