Appointing an EU representative

We will gladly guide you through all the necessary steps to designate a representative in the EU in case your company is required to have one under the GDPR. As your EU representative, Enobyte will take care of the following tasks:

  • Supporting you in complying with all requirements
  • Maintaining the record of data processing activities (RPA)
  • Acting as contact point for inquiries from supervisory authorities and data subjects in the EU or EEA
  • Forwarding and, if necessary, translating (German/English/Japanese) inquiries to the company

When does my company need an EU representative?

Many companies that process data from the EU or EEA, but do not have an establishment in the EU or EEA, are required by law to designate a representative in the Union. The flowchart below may serve as an overview.
 

If your company does not have an establishment in the EU, but provides goods or services specifically to people in the EU, you need an EU representative. This may be the case if a company offers payment in Euros on its website, conducts promotional activities in the EU, or intends its services to be used in the EU.

The same is true if your company monitors the behavior of individuals in the EU, e.g. through location analysis or analysis of usage patterns in an app.

If your company has an establishment in the EU, you do not need a representative. However, you may need a qualified data protection officer
