Answer:
If you act as a controller or a processor and you are not established in the EU the EU GDPR will be applicable to you under the following conditions (https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/gdpr/territorial-scope/) :
- You are offering goods or services to individuals in the EU (even free of charge);
- You are monitoring the behavior of individuals in the EU ;
Where these extra-territorial provisions apply, the controller or processor must appoint a representative. That representative must be based in a Member State.
This is an onerous role to take on, the EU representative will have to face off to the relevant supervisory authorities and accept liability for breach of the EU GDPR which could be substantial. So I am not sure why anyone would want to act as a representative.
So the bottom line is that Advisera does not provide this kind of representative services.
