UK Representative
This service is relevant to organisations that:
-
Are not established in the UK
-
Offer goods or services to individuals in the UK, whether paid or free
-
Monitor the behaviour of individuals in the UK, including through online services, analytics, or AI-enabled tools
The requirement most commonly applies to technology providers, SaaS platforms, AI services, online services, health and research organisations, education providers, and professional services operating remotely.
The obligation comes from UK GDPR Article 27. Many organisations underestimate how broadly this applies, particularly where services are digital or cross-border by default.
What the service covers
Representation and contact point
I act as your named UK Representative, serving as the formal point of contact for UK regulators and individuals. This ensures enquiries are handled professionally, consistently, and in line with UK legal expectations.
Regulatory engagement
Where required, I support engagement with the Information Commissioner’s Office or other relevant UK bodies. This includes managing correspondence, supporting responses, and helping you understand what is being asked and why.
Ongoing support and oversight
I provide ongoing support to help you understand your obligations as they apply in the UK. This includes flagging emerging risks, regulatory developments, or areas where your approach may need adjustment.
