GDPR EU Representative for HR Software Companies
Applicant tracking, payroll, and people-ops platforms hold the most sensitive employment data in any organisation — and increasingly serve EU teams of US clients.
Why HR software 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. HR software typically meet both tests the moment they have a single EU user, customer, or visitor.
Personal data your hr software typically processes
- Resumes, references, and interview notes
- Salary, tax, and bank account information
- Performance reviews and disciplinary records
- Health and benefit enrolment data
The risk of staying uncovered
Works councils and EU labour regulators get involved quickly when employee data leaves the bloc without proper safeguards. Article 27 representation is the first thing they ask about.
What a real EU representative does for a hr software
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.
