Here’s everything you need to know about GDPR Representative. If you have any other questions, please reach out to our support team and we’d be happy to help!
Do I need a GDPR Representative?
If your company is based outside the EU or UK but processes personal data of individuals in these regions, you likely need a GDPR Representative under Article 27. This includes businesses offering goods/services or monitoring behavior of EU/UK residents.
What's the difference between a GDPR Representative and a DPO?
A GDPR Representative is required under Article 27 for non-EU/UK businesses that process personal data of individuals in those regions but don’t have a physical presence there. The Representative acts as the local point of contact for regulators and data subjects.
A Data Protection Officer (DPO), on the other hand, is an internal role required under Article 37 in specific circumstances (e.g., large-scale monitoring or processing of sensitive data). The DPO advises the company on compliance, while the Representative provides a local legal presence. Many businesses may need one or the other—or both—depending on their activities.
How quickly can I become compliant?
With Euverify, you can typically appoint your GDPR Representative and become compliant within a few business days. Once you provide the required company and processing details, we can issue the appointment documentation, and you can update your privacy notice to reflect compliance immediately.
What happens if a regulator contacts me directly?
If a regulator contacts you directly, you can immediately refer them to Euverify as your appointed Representative. Regulators are required to communicate through the Representative for businesses outside the EU/UK. We will handle incoming communications, translate requirements where necessary, and liaise with you to ensure timely and appropriate responses.
Can I change my plan or coverage area later?
Yes. If your business expands or contracts, you can adjust your plan at any time. Whether you only need EU coverage, UK coverage, or both, Euverify can update your service package to match your evolving compliance needs.
Do you store my company data securely?
Absolutely. Euverify applies strict data security measures, including encryption, restricted access, and GDPR-compliant storage practices. Your company’s information is only used for fulfilling our Representative obligations and will never be shared without legal basis or your consent.
What if I already have a ROPA document?
If you already maintain a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), Euverify can integrate it into our Representative service. We’ll review it to ensure it contains the necessary details for regulator inspections. If you don’t yet have one, we can guide you in creating a compliant version.
How do data subject requests work?
When individuals exercise their rights (such as access, erasure, or objection), they may contact the Representative directly. Euverify will forward validated requests to your designated contact person promptly and, where needed, guide you on response timelines and requirements. We do not respond to the requests on your behalf but ensure they reach you efficiently and in line with GDPR obligations.
