EU, UK, Or Both?
Since the United Kingdom left the European Union it applies its own data protection regime, the UK GDPR. The duties of a representative are essentially the same, but the appointment is separate, so organisations active in both markets need both.
Under Article 27 of the GDPR, an organisation established outside the EU must appoint an EU representative if it meets any of the criteria below. The UK GDPR sets an equivalent requirement for organisations established outside the UK, which is why the Basic package covers both territories.
01
If you sell products or services in the EU or the UK.
Offering goods or services to people in the EU or the UK brings you within scope, even with no office or staff there.
02
If you run a website targeting the EU or UK market.
The requirement is not limited to products and services. It extends to websites aimed at people living in the EU or the UK.
03
If you monitor the behaviour of people in the EU or the UK.
Tracking, profiling or analysing the behaviour of people located in either territory counts as monitoring.
04
If you are contracted to an EU or UK organisation.
Working for, or as part of, a group established in the EU or the UK can bring your own processing within scope.

What does GDPR Article 27 say about EU representatives?
GDPR Article 27 mandates that non-EU organizations processing EU personal data appoint an EU representative. This representative acts as a point of contact for data protection matters and regulatory inquiries.
What responsibilities does an EU representative handle under GDPR?

Who can be a GDPR representative?
A GDPR representative must be a knowledgeable and reliable entity with expertise in EU data protection laws. Our team at DPO Consulting is well positioned to serve as your trusted GDPR EU-based representative.
What is the difference between a DPO and a EU representative?
An organization's Data Protection Officer (DPO) is an independent person that makes sure the organization remains complaint with the GDPR, whereas an EU representative acts as a point of contact to supervisory authorities and data subjects on behalf of the organization.
Can the same entity act as both a DPO and an EU representative?
While a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is an independent role focused on ensuring compliance, an EU representative serves as your organization’s local contact point. Thus, it is recommended they are distinct to avoid conflicts of interest.
Who enforces GDPR in EU?
National Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) in each EU member state are primarily responsible for enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). DPAs are responsible for investigating complaints, issuing fines, and taking enforcement action against organizations found to be violating GDPR rules.
