When Do You Need a GDPR Representative?

You need a GDPR Representative if:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has established certain requirements for organisations handling personal data. If your company operates outside the UK but offers goods or services to individuals within the UK or monitors the behaviour of individuals in the UK, you may need to appoint a GDPR Representative. This representative serves as a local point of contact for the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and ensures compliance with UK GDPR.

Your Business Operates Outside the UK

If your organisation’s physical presence and operations are situated outside the United Kingdom, you fall under the scope of requiring a GDPR Representative if you conduct business activities involving UK residents’ personal data.

You Offer Services to Individuals in the UK.

Whether your offerings involve paid products or services or are provided free of charge, if you extend them to individuals within the UK, the UK GDPR mandates the appointment of a GDPR Representative.

You Monitor Behaviour of Individuals in the UK

If your data processing activities involve tracking, analysing, or monitoring the behaviour of individuals located in the UK, you are subject to GDPR representation requirements. This applies to various scenarios, including online behaviour tracking for analytics or targeted advertising.

Exemptions from GDPR Representation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates that non-EU companies appoint a GDPR representative if they offer goods or services to individuals in the EU or monitor the behavior of EU residents. However, there are exemptions to this requirement. Here’s a breakdown to help you determine if you need a representative:

Exempt Organisations:

  • Public Authorities: Public bodies established in the EU generally don’t require a GDPR representative. However, this can vary depending on the specific activities of the public authority.
  • Occasional, Low-Risk Processing: If your data processing activities are:
    • Occasional: Not a core function of your business and happen infrequently.
    • Low-Risk: Unlikely to pose a significant risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
    • Limited Special Category Data: Don’t involve large-scale processing of special category data (e.g., race, health information).
    • Limited Criminal Offense Data: Don’t involve large-scale processing of criminal offense data.
