The Law Is Clear: You Need an EU Representative
Up to €20 Million in Fines
GDPR penalties can reach €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue. These are enforceable penalties, not hypothetical warnings.
Enforcement Is Active
GDPR has been enforced since 2018. Regulators and data subjects can initiate actions when companies serving the EU have obvious compliance gaps.

GDPR Article 27 requires many non-EU companies to designate an EU representative. Exemptions are narrow and must be carefully justified.
