EU representative for Shopify stores
On Shopify you are the controller and Shopify is your processor — which means the Article 27 obligation is yours. Usantis plugs in with a copy-paste footer snippet and handles the rest.
Why Shopify companies need an EU representative
Article 27 GDPR applies based on what you do, not where you are based. If your Shopify 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.
