The GDPR EU Representative represents your company and serves as a central point of contact for data subjects and data protection supervisory authorities. The GDPR EU Representative answers all questions regarding the processing of personal data. The GDPR EU Representative provides customers and data subjects within the EU with a direct point of contact.

What GDPR obligations arise for non-EU companies?

If your goods and services are aimed at the European market or if you monitor natural persons in the EU, you must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation with your non-EU company (Art. 3 para. 2 GDPR). As a result, you are obliged to appoint an EU representative. On the other hand, you must fulfill the following legal obligations with your non-EU company:

 

1. Create Records of processing activities:

You must document and regularly update all data protection-relevant business activities relating to the EU market (Art. 30 (1) and (2) GDPR).

2. Integrate privacy notices:

You are obliged to inform data subjects located in the EU about data processing during the purchase process by means of a privacy notice (marked by legal documents Art. 13 GDPR)

3. Implement technical and organizational measures (TOM):

You must protect the data of your customers and users with the help of security measures. The technical and organizational measures vary depending on the business model: Firewalls, end device encryption, password protection, multi-factor authentication, double opt-in procedure, etc.

4. Document consents:

You must document the consent given by the customer and user (on the system side) in order to comply with the strict documentation requirements of the GDPR. In addition, all declarations of consent must comply with data protection requirements.

5. Conclude data processing agreements with service providers:

If you use external service providers for market location-related processes and they have access to personal data, a data processing agreement must be concluded. Furthermore, ensure these providers are backed by a team of qualified lawyers offering broad understanding and legal advice.

Are we subject to the obligation to appoint an EU Representative in accordance with Art. 27 GDPR?

Your company is subject to the obligation to appoint an GDPR EU Representative in accordance with Art. 27 GDPR if it: 

  • does not have an establishment in the European Union and
  • Processes personal data of EU citizens; and
  • aligns its business activities to the EU market, in particular:
  • the offering of goods and services 
  • observes the behavior of persons located in the EU

If the criteria are met, you should find an EU Representative GDPR. There are only a few exceptions to the obligation to appoint an EU Representative GDPR. 

Further information on the designation obligation and a presentation based on specific examples and more about the exceptions can be found in our article on EU Representatives under Art. 27 GDPR.

Difference between the Data Protection Officer and an EU Representative

An GDPR EU Representative is not the same as a data protection officer. Both have different tasks and duties: A data protection officer is independent and not bound by instructions. The external data protection officer advises the company on data protection issues and is intended to promote data protection compliance within the controller. The EU GDPR Representative is a point of contact who is subject to the controller’s mandate and instructions. He is available for inquiries and complaints and can document processing activities and processors.
