EU representative for online course creators

Course platforms collect data on EU students — progress, certificates, forum posts — which brings creators under Article 27 GDPR. Usantis is your EU representative without an EU entity.

Why online course companies need an EU representative

Article 27 GDPR applies based on what you do, not where you are based. If your online course business offers services to, or monitors, people in the EU, you need a representative established in the EU. The full rules are in our EU GDPR representative guide.

Usantis gives you that representative — a real EU address, a named representative and DSAR handling — without opening an EU entity.
