GDPR compliance for international companies operating in the Netherlands

Operating internationally with a presence in the Netherlands? GDPR compliance involves more than just a Privacy Policy.

How far does GDPR compliance actually extend?

GDPR compliance for international companies with Dutch operations can involve extraterritorial application under Article 3 GDPR, the requirement to appoint an EU representative without an EU establishment, and safeguards for transferring data outside the EU.

International companies with Dutch operations often underestimate how far GDPR compliance extends. Under Article 3 GDPR, the regulation applies to any company processing personal data of individuals in the EU, even without an EU establishment, as long as you offer goods or services to them or monitor their behavior. If that applies to you and you have no EU establishment, you generally need to appoint an EU representative.

Transferring data outside the EU also requires an appropriate safeguard, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, unless the destination country has an adequacy decision. At EenvoudigRecht, we help international companies get GDPR-compliant documents in English, tailored to their specific operations, for a fixed price.
