What is an EU Representative?
An EU Representative (also known as EU Rep, European Authorised Representative, EAR, EC Rep, EC or CE Representative) is a contact appointed by companies outside the EU to act as a liaison on data protection matters between the company on the one hand and EU citizens and supervisory authorities on the other. This is particularly important for companies that process the personal data of EU citizens but are not based in the European Union.
What role does the EU Representative play under the GDPR?
The main role of the EU Representative is to act as a point of contact for EU citizens and data protection authorities in relation to enquiries, complaints or the exercise of data protection rights under the GDPR. It is responsible for forwarding enquiries to the company, and can also provide additional services in the area of GDPR compliance.
Do all non-EU companies have to appoint a representative in the EU?
Companies based outside the EU that process the personal data of EU citizens in the context of offering goods or services or monitoring the behaviour of these individuals in the EU are required, under Art. 27 GDPR, to designate an EU Representative.
