Spanish term or phrase: por ser usted el titular de la misma
En un certificado de antecedentes penales colombiano:

"De acuerdo a lo preceptuado en el artículo 4 del Decreto 3738 la información sobre antecedentes penales es RESERVA; no obstante, en cumplimiento de la Ley Estatutaria 1581 de 2012, se le remite la información sobre sus antecedentes penales **por ser usted el titular de la misma** y quien dispondrá de ella."

Normalmente, traduzco titular como holder o bearer, pero aquí se refiere "titular de la información".

Because it is yours?

¿Alguien sabe cómo se puede expresar? Mil gracias

as it belongs to you


Explanation:
In plain English.
In legalese you might go for something like

"... we are sending you the information about your criminal record ** as you are the subject of the same *** and thereby entitled to access it."

I thought "owner", but Google says -No results found for "owner of the information".-

agree  patinba: or "as it concerns your personal information"? You need a new Google - I get 48000 hits for "owner of the information"
10 mins

agree  Manuel Cedeño Berrueta: My Google says: " * owner of * information" confidential – Cerca de 48.700.000 resultados (0,42 segundos)
8 hrs

agree  Charles Davis: Legalese is suitable here. And being the titular doesn't mean that the data belongs to you. // So you did. I was going by your actual answer and your preference for plain English. OK then, have an agree :-) Don't like "of the same" though...

  -> Cheers, I appreciate that. I often start with one answer and then elaborate on it, or suggest different versions.

disagree  Anahí Seri: belonging is not the same as "being about"

disagree  AllegroTrans: "concerns" is the implication here, nobody actually "owns" data per se

agree  Charles Davis: This is the way it should be expressed. "Titular" means that the information is about you, not that you own it (ownership in this context is a very complex issue and is not the point).

Explanation:
it's not a literal translation, but it amounts to the same; I don't like the more literal options, according to Google they aren't employed

neutral  AllegroTrans: "according to Google?" Google is an authority on translation?!
15 mins
  -> not an authority, but a reflection of the way a language is used; a phrase that cannot be found in Google is surely a phrase which isn't used much

neutral  Charles Davis: I've just tried "you are the data subject" and according to Google there were 610,000 results. But that doesn't determine its suitability. There are serious dangers in choosing a translation on the basis of how many Google results it gets.
7 hrs
  -> that's not what I mean. I wouldn't decide on 20.000 hits versus 5.000 or whatever. But there are extreme cases, like this, when you don't find a single occurrence of the term; that's something to take into account.

agree  neilmac: Google searches show frequency of use of a word or phrase, which I often find very hepful.
19 hrs
  -> yes, that's what I mean
