GDPR EU Representative for Australia-Based Companies
Australian companies serving EU users are squarely within GDPR's reach. The Australian Privacy Act covers Australian operations but does not satisfy Article 27.
Why Australia companies selling into the EU need Article 27 representation
Many Australian B2B and consumer brands address EU customers through digital channels. An Australian-only privacy policy plus the Privacy Act is not the answer when an EU DPA writes.
Typical Australian businesses that need this
- A Melbourne SaaS startup with EU pilots
- A Sydney e-commerce label shipping into Europe
- An Australian travel platform marketing to EU travellers
What this means in practice
GDPR Article 27 requires controllers and processors not established in the EU to designate, in writing, a representative inside the EU. For Australia companies, this is the single most visible compliance line item in any EU vendor security review or supervisory inquiry. It is also one of the cheapest and fastest items to close.
Why a real German company makes a better representative than a postbox
When an EU data protection authority writes to your representative, the letter should reach an accountable entity, not a virtual office. rep4eu's designation is held by Cloudkasten GmbH, a registered German company with lawyers admitted in Germany involved in running the service; we receive the correspondence, handle German correspondence in German, and forward it to you promptly. If you need legal help with the reply, the attorneys' law firm is available as a separate engagement.
