Why Switch

How rep4eu Differs From Engage Compliance

⚖️

Lawyers on the team

Two German-admitted Rechtsanwälte are involved in running rep4eu. Engage describes itself as a privacy consultancy, not a law firm. Legal advice is separate with both: with rep4eu the attorneys’ law firm can take a matter on, with scope and cost agreed first.

🇩🇪

German authority letters handled in German

rep4eu holds your designation from Germany and handles correspondence from German authorities in German. Engage forwards messages in the language they arrive in and adds automated translation.

🗂️

The Article 30 record kept on our side

rep4eu maintains the Article 30 record from the information you supply. Under Engage’s terms you write and maintain the record and Engage holds a copy.

Questions

What is the difference between rep4eu and Engage Compliance?

rep4eu is run by Cloudkasten GmbH, a registered German company with two German-admitted lawyers involved in running the service; Engage Compliance is a Dutch privacy consultancy (Engage Data Consulting B.V.). Both publish annual prices, include forwarding with no per-request charges and exclude legal advice. rep4eu handles German authority correspondence in German and maintains the Article 30 record; Engage holds a copy of the record you keep.

Does Engage cover the UK as well?

Yes, Engage offers a UK representative through Engage Compliance UK Ltd. rep4eu covers the EU GDPR only, so a business that also needs a UK representative needs a separate appointment for the UK.

Can I switch from Engage to rep4eu?

Yes. Appoint rep4eu first, update your privacy notice and records with the new representative, and only then end the Engage appointment under its terms, so there is no gap without a representative.
