What is an Article 27 GDPR representative?
An Article 27 representative is a person or organisation designated in writing in the EU to represent certain non-EU controllers or processors regarding GDPR obligations.
The representative acts as an EU contact point for supervisory authorities and data subjects on issues related to the represented processing. The designation must be in writing and does not transfer the organisation's own GDPR responsibilities.
