What is an EU GDPR representative?

An EU representative is a person or organization based in the EU who represents the GDPR compliance interests of a business located outside of the EU. The EU representative acts as a liaison between data subjects, supervisory authorities, and the business they represent. The name and contact details of the EU representative is typically disclosed in a Privacy Policy.

The appointment of an EU representative is a mandatory function for businesses that operate in the EU/EEA but aren’t located there. Specifically, the EU representative is responsible for:

Handling inquiries about data processing from DPAs or data subjects.

Maintaining records of a company's processing activities and receiving legal documents as a company's authorized agent.

Providing supervisory authorities with access to data processing records.

Participating in enforcement proceedings in case of a company's non-compliance with the regulation.

Who is required to appoint an EU representative?

Organizations that operate outside the EU but target EU residents—whether through offering products/services, running targeted websites, or monitoring EU behavior—must appoint an EU 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.
