UK DPR

 Get a Knowledgeable and Highly Specialized Data Protection Representative

What is a UK DPR?

A UK representative is a local point of contact situated in the UK who acts on behalf of the organization they represent and can assist in communication with persons (often clients or data subjects) and data protection authorities concerning data protection issues. A UK Representative must now be appointed by an organization if:

  • The organization is not founded in the UK; they do not have a base or office there.
  • The organization either provides goods or services to people living in the UK or keeps track of how those people behave.

What are the responsibilities of a UK DPR?

Your UK GDPR Representative performs two main roles:

Your Representative is the point of contact for all inquiries regarding the protection of the personal information of UK residents, and

Your Representative is the point of contact for data protection supervisory agencies.

Failure to designate the required UK representative might result in fines of up to GBP 8,700,000.00 or 2% of the company’s annual group revenue, whichever is larger. Since the representative’s contact information typically needs to be given within the privacy policy, non-compliance with the requirement to designate a UK representative is clearly obvious.

Do I Need a UK Data Protection
Representative (DPR)?

The EU GDPR’s need for enterprises not located in the EU to establish a data protection representative is mirrored in the UK GDPR. According to the UK GDPR’s current text, non-UK enterprises who process personal data of UK residents to either provide them with products or services or keep track of their behavior must also appoint a data protection representative in the UK. Importantly, in order to continue processing personal data of UK residents in accordance with the UK GDPR, EEA-based firms must additionally appoint a representative in the UK.
