Global Data Protection Representative
Your Legal Bridge in Compliance
In Global Life Sciences, compliance isn’t just about rules; it’s how you protect trust, reputation, and patient confidence. A Data Protection Representative (DPR) is the legal link between your organization, Data Protection regulators, and data subjects when you have no local establishment. With MyData-TRUST, that link becomes a responsive, expert partnership that keeps you inspection-ready and communicates clearly on your behalf.
Our DPR service is truly global, with coverage across the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Turkey, Serbia, Georgia, China, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, North Macedonia and Peru. Wherever your data travels, we’re there.
What Our Representation Service Delivers
We go beyond a mailbox. We serve as your official point of contact, manage data subject and regulator inquiries, keep documentation and disclosures aligned, and track regulatory updates that affect your studies, products, and vendors. The result: you stay inspection-ready while your teams focus on science and care.
How we work
- Applicability & scope check (jurisdictions, roles, contacts).
- Document alignment (RoPA, notices, DSAR workflows, disclosures, languages).
- Designation & publication (official details, SLAs, playbooks).
- Operate & improve (handle inquiries, maintain logs, periodic reports, regulatory watch).
Expert Representation for Life Sciences Data Protection
In the Life Sciences industry, where the stakes are high, and the data is sensitive, having a dedicated DPR means having an expert team to rely on. Our service provides a crucial function: we act as a legal bridge, facilitating communication and compliance across borders and regulations. From the EU’s GDPR to the UK’s data protection regime and Switzerland’s privacy laws, our expertise spans across all significant data protection jurisdictions.

Myth Busters - Frequently Asked Questions
Reality: A single Article 27 GDPR Representative may cover multiple Member States if the structure is operationally effective. Accessibility, language capacity, targeting scope and regulatory expectations must be considered. The arrangement must allow authorities and data subjects to interact efficiently with the representative.
Reality: The DPO and the GDPR Representative serve different legal purposes. The DPO monitors internal compliance and advises the organization. The GDPR Representative acts as a formal contact point for EU authorities and data subjects when the organization is not established in the EU. In many cases, both roles are required.
Reality: Article 27 GDPR applies to organizations outside the EU that target EU individuals. Similar representative requirements exist in the UK and may arise in other jurisdictions. International operations require a country by country assessment to determine whether local representation obligations apply.
Reality: A conflict of interest may arise if the same individual or operational structure performs both roles without separation. The DPO must remain independent in monitoring compliance, while the DPR acts as an external contact point under Article 27 GDPR. When handled by separate teams and distinct legal entities, structural independence can be maintained.
