Do Indian SaaS companies need an EU representative?
Yes, where the company has no establishment in the Union and offers services to people in the EU or monitors their behaviour. The GDPR representative must be appointed in writing in a Member State where the affected individuals are, and the identity and contact details must appear in the privacy notice.
What has to be done
- Establish your role per processing activity: processor for customer data, controller for your own account and telemetry data, and paper each one correctly.
- Sign a data processing agreement that meets Article 28, including the sub-processor list, the audit right and the assistance duties.
- Handle the transfer separately from the contract: Standard Contractual Clauses plus a transfer impact assessment for the India leg.
