EU representative for Israeli companies

Why companies in Israel need an EU representative

Article 27 GDPR applies based on what you do, not where you are incorporated. If your company offers goods or services to people in the EU, or monitors their behaviour, you need a representative established in the EU — regardless of your home jurisdiction. The full rules are covered in our EU GDPR representative guide.

For Israeli businesses this is rarely optional: serving the EU market almost always crosses the Article 27 threshold. Usantis gives you a real EU representative — a physical EU address, a named representative, and DSAR handling — without you opening an EU entity.

Specific challenges for Israeli businesses

• A strong tech sector with a large EU customer base
• Overlap between the Israeli Privacy Protection Law and the GDPR
• An EU adequacy decision exists, but with conditions — and it does not remove the Article 27 duty

Regulatory context

Relevant frameworks and decisions Israeli companies tend to encounter:

Industries we represent from Israel

We act for Israeli companies across sectors — most commonly:

Billing & tax

EU B2B with a VAT-ID uses reverse charge; Israeli VAT applies to local customers and EU VAT to EU customers. Israel’s adequacy decision simplifies the data transfer itself, but not the representative obligation.

Support & time zones

Only a one-hour difference from CET — excellent business-hours overlap.
