GDPR Representative Services (EU & UK)
Easily appoint your DPR in the EU or UK.
Looking for trusted GDPR Representative Services?
DPO Consultancy provides professional GDPR Representative Services, including EU Data Protection Representative Services and UK GDPR Representative Services, for organizations established outside Europe. We help international organizations comply with Article 27 GDPR and the UK GDPR by acting as their official local representative and point of contact.
If your organization offers goods or services to individuals in the European Union or the United Kingdom, or monitors their behaviour, you may be legally required to appoint a GDPR Representative.
Do you need an EU Data Protection Representative?
Under Article 27 GDPR, organizations established outside the European Economic Area (EEA) are required to appoint an EU Data Protection Representative where they:
- Offer goods or services to individuals located in the EU (whether paid or free);
- Monitor the behaviour of individuals within the EU.
Similarly, organizations established outside the United Kingdom also need to appoint a UK GDPR Representative under the UK GDPR.
Failure to appoint an Article 27 GDPR Representative where required may result in regulatory action and administrative fines.
