If your company is based outside the EU but offers goods or services to individuals in the EU or monitors their behavior, you likely need an EU Representative under GDPR Article 27. We provide this as a standalone service. If you also need a DPO, we act as your DPO and arrange your EU Representative through a partner entity, so the two roles stay independent.
What you get:
- A designated EU Representative in the member state where your users are
- A local contact point for EU supervisory authorities and data subjects
- From €59 per month, scaling with company size, with setup in days
Price, scope, and how to start
Price. From €59 per month for the standalone Article 27 appointment, scaling with company size. Annual billing only. The size bands and the exact figures are on pricing, and no sales call is required to see them.
What is included. The designation itself, in the member state where your users are. A local contact point for supervisory authorities and for data subjects, named in your privacy notice. The Article 30 records you provide held and made available where applicable. Coordination with your team on any regulatory inquiry, and ongoing availability for the life of the appointment.
How to start. Start your appointment directly, which takes a few minutes and needs your company details and the member states you sell into. If you would rather ask first, book a call.
How fast. Most appointments are complete within a few working days. We update your privacy notice with the representative’s details as part of the designation, because Article 27 requires them to be published.
Before you buy. If you also need a DPO, we cannot be both for the same company. The EDPB is clear the roles can conflict, so we take one and arrange the other through a partner entity.

What is an EU Representative?
An EU Representative is a designated individual or organization established in one of the EU Member States where the relevant data subjects are located. They act as a local contact point for supervisory authorities and data subjects on behalf of a non-EU company. This is required under GDPR Article 27 for companies that:
- Are based outside the EU, AND
- Offer goods or services to individuals in the EU, OR monitor the behavior of individuals in the EU
There are limited exceptions, including for occasional processing that doesn’t include large-scale special category data and is unlikely to result in risk to individuals.
The EU Representative is NOT the same as a DPO. They serve different functions and should be kept operationally separate.
What does an EU Representative do?
- EU Representative appointment and designation
- Act as point of contact for EU supervisory authorities on your behalf
- Act as point of contact for EU data subjects on your behalf
- Hold and make available the Article 30 records you provide, where applicable
- Coordinate with your internal team on regulatory inquiries
- Ongoing availability for supervisory authority and data subject communications
