Our USP
Advantages
We have many years of expertise and know exactly what we are doing: DP-Dock was founded by two leading data protection lawyers and an experienced IT consultant. We have been one of the first companies offering EU GDPR representative services: since the GDPR came in force in 2018, we have been acting for international companies as their EU GDPR representative.
We serve as local point of contact for the EU on all issues related to the processing of personal data. With expertise and tact, we assist in communicating with - demanding - data subjects and data protection supervisory authorities.
Tasks
Roles & Duties of a GDPR EU-Representative
The EU representative has several tasks and therefore provides several advantages to the company. The representative will act as a local contact for EU citizens and supervisory authorities and represent the non-EU company in relation to its GDPR compliance. The below requirements must be satisfied:
- The EU representative must be appointed in writing.
- The EU representative must act on behalf of the non-EU company and must therefore have representational authority.
- The EU representative must maintain a processing directory (Article 30 GDPR).
- The EU representative must be located in an EU member state in which persons affected by the company's actions are also located.
Note
It is important to note that there are exceptions to the need to appoint an EU representative. This applies to cases where the data processing is only occasional, does not involve special categories of personal data and is unlikely to present a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects. All of these conditions must be met at the same time, so it is uncommon for a non-EU company to be able to qualify for this exemption.
