Why rep4eu
A mailbox can't defend your business.
When a data protection authority contacts your EU representative, they expect a qualified response — not a forwarding service. Here's how we compare to typical "address-only" providers.

Your EU representative is who authorities call when something goes wrong. Make sure it's a lawyer, not a letterbox.
Meet our legal team Why this matters
No EU representative is a live legal exposure.
GDPR Article 27 is enforceable today. If you serve EU customers without an appointed representative, the gap is visible, on the public record, and expensive to ignore.
€20M
or 4% of global revenue
Whichever is higher. GDPR carries the steepest fine ceiling in data-protection law.
Deals stall or die
EU buyers and enterprise procurement increasingly demand GDPR evidence before they sign. Missing representation blocks approvals and delays revenue.
Regulatory liability
A single complaint can trigger supervisory scrutiny and remediation orders — with your missing representative as the obvious first finding.
Public trust damage
Enforcement decisions are published. Buyers verify them in minutes — and trust drops fast when compliance is missing.
Does Article 27 apply to you?
Tick anything true of your company. Most non-EU businesses with recurring EU users are in scope — even B2B SaaS.

Frequently asked questions
An EU Representative is a natural or legal person established in the EU who acts on behalf of a non-EU company for GDPR Article 27 compliance. They serve as the official point of contact for data protection authorities and individuals exercising their rights.
If you're not established in the EU but you offer goods/services to EU residents or monitor their behavior (e.g., through website analytics), GDPR Article 27 requires you to designate an EU Representative.
Non-compliance can result in substantial fines (up to €20 million or 4% of global revenue), legal action from regulators, inability to process EU user data, and reputational damage.
We can designate you within 24-48 hours of receiving your documentation. The official registration with authorities follows EU timelines, but you're covered from day one of our engagement.
No! One EU Representative covers all 27 member states. You designate a representative in one EU country, and that designation is valid across the entire EU/EEA.
We handle authority correspondence, maintain required records, provide a designated EU address, manage subject requests, send regulatory updates, and coordinate incident responses. See our pricing plans for specific inclusions.
