Frequently asked questions
Does GDPR apply to us if we're based outside the EU?
Yes, where you offer goods or services to individuals in the EU, or monitor their behavior — Art. 3(2)'s extraterritorial scope applies regardless of where your organization is established. Scope for your specific operations should be confirmed with counsel.
How does GDPR relate to India's DPDPA?
They share core concepts (lawful basis, individual rights, breach notification) but differ in mechanics — DPDPA has no DPIA requirement in the same form, uses Consent Managers, and has its own penalty structure. If both apply to you, map them together rather than assuming one covers the other.
Do we need to appoint an EU representative if we have no EU establishment?
Often yes, under Art. 27, if you're subject to GDPR's extraterritorial scope and don't otherwise qualify for an exemption — this is commonly missed by non-EU organizations that know about the Regulation but not this specific obligation.
