Do you sell goods or services to individuals in the European Union, United Kingdom or Switzerland? Do you market to or monitor the behaviour of people in those regions without having a local presence? If so, you’re required by law to appoint GDPR and FADP data protection representatives. Build trust and grow your brand in Europe with our local experts and trusted compliance solutions.
The data protection representative’s role is to act on behalf of companies without a local presence, serving as the contact point for both authorities and data subjects on all data protection matters. In practice, the representative substitutes for a subsidiary, providing “boots on the ground” to enable communication with local stakeholders.
This mechanism is a fundamental element of data protection laws worldwide, ensuring that extra-territorial rules function effectively by covering organizations that operate without a local establishment. We act as your trusted point of contact in all EU Member States, the UK and Switzerland, ensuring seamless compliance with local data protection regulations.
Stay aligned with EU, UK and Swiss laws and avoid fines for non-compliance.
It can lead to fines of up to 4% of your global annual turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher.
Demonstrate to customers and partners that you take data protection seriously. Non-compliance can also damage your reputation and result in the loss of clients and partners.
Legally operate in one of the world's largest markets while we handle regulatory complexity and communication with authorities. Focus on growing your business with complete peace of mind.

Target the EU market with confidence through Agora’s EU GDPR Representative services. By ensuring full compliance with Article 27 of the EU GDPR, we help your business meet its legal obligations, reduce regulatory risks, and build stronger trust with your customers and partners.
Target the UK market safeguarded by Agora’s UK GDPR Representative services. Following Brexit, the UK adopted the same Article 27 requirement as the EU, making it an obligation for non-UK businesses to appoint a representative.
Processing personal data in Switzerland without a local entity? The revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) was updated in 2023 to align with the EU’s GDPR, making it mandatory to appoint a representative. Strengthen compliance, increase transparency, and build trust by appointing Agora as your Swiss representative.
Failing to appoint a GDPR or FADP data protection representative when required is not a minor oversight — it is a direct breach of the law. Regulators in the EU, UK, and Switzerland are directed to impose substantial fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, launch formal investigations, and even restrict your ability to do business in these markets.
Non-compliance also exposes your company to costly disputes with data subjects and the reputational damage that comes with being seen as untrustworthy on privacy.
Appointing a representative is a legal obligation under Article 27 of the EU and UK GDPR, as well as the Swiss FADP. Authorities are increasingly cracking down on foreign companies that process local data without meeting this requirement. By ignoring it, you risk not only severe financial penalties but also loss of customer confidence and barriers to market access.
With Agora as your representative, you can protect your business from these risks, demonstrate accountability, and operate with peace of mind across Europe.

“Selling online across the EU, UK, and Switzerland from abroad, I needed local data protection representation everywhere. Your team had all three reps live within days and gave me clear, practical advice tailored to a DTC food brand—what actually applies, how to handle DSARs, cookie language, and what buyers look for in due-diligence. The best part was the plug-and-play privacy policy text with the EU/UK/CH representative details—we pasted it in and were done in minutes. Now any data-subject or regulator message routes to you with time-stamped responses, and we’ve sped through retailer onboarding.”
