GDPR EU Representative for E-commerce Companies
Online retailers that ship to or market to EU consumers process names, shipping addresses, payment metadata, and behavioural data from EU residents on every transaction — clear Article 27 territory.
Why E-commerce are squarely in GDPR scope
The trigger for GDPR Article 27 is not company size or revenue — it is whether you offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour. E-commerce typically meet both tests the moment they have a single EU user, customer, or visitor.
Personal data your e-commerce typically processes
- Customer names, billing and shipping addresses
- Payment processor tokens and order history
- Marketing email lists and abandoned-cart triggers
- Cookie-based browsing and retargeting profiles
The risk of staying uncovered
EU data protection authorities have repeatedly fined non-EU e-commerce operators for cookie consent and direct-marketing failures. A missing Article 27 representative typically becomes the headline cited in those public decisions.
What a real EU representative does for a e-commerce
We act as the named point of contact for EU supervisory authorities and data subjects across all 27 member states. When a regulator writes, the letter lands with a registered German company with lawyers on the team, is handled in German where needed, and reaches you promptly. When a data subject sends an Article 15 access request, we forward it to your named contact and log it. Responding remains your job; legal support is available as a separate engagement.
