Who needs a UK Representative?
In summary, you need a Representative under Article 27 of UK GDPR if the UK GDPR applies to you and you do not have an establishment in the UK. Privacy Kitchen has a great video [YouTube cookies and privacy policy apply] discussing the impact of Brexit and UK and EU Representatives, and the differences between a Representative and a DPO.
What about the Brexit Reforms?
The current draft Bill proposes eliminating the need for a UK Representative under UK GDPR. (Bear in mind the Representative, and the test as to whether you need one, is different to the DPO.) We’ll have to see how the Bill travels through parliament before we know for sure but, currently, UK Representatives are in UK GDPR.
Keepabl has published a simple side-by-side guide to the proposed changes regarding RoPAs, DPOs, DPIAs and DSRs.
