EU & UK Representative Services

What is the EU & UK Representative Services?

Under GDPR and UK GDPR, organisations outside the UK or EU must appoint a local representative if they process personal data of individuals in those regions. DPS acts as your official EU and/or UK Representative, enabling your business to meet this legal requirement without needing to establish a physical presence.

We handle communications with data subjects and supervisory authorities, maintain necessary records, and support ongoing compliance.

 

Why is it important?

• Legal Requirement: Article 27 of GDPR and UK GDPR mandates a representative for many non-EU/UK entities.

• Avoid Fines & Enforcement: Failure to appoint a representative can lead to enforcement action or limitations on your operations.

• Operational Simplicity: DPS handles the complexity of managing cross-border data subject rights and regulator engagement.

• Trust & Transparency: Demonstrating compliance boosts credibility with clients and regulators.
