What a Korea PIPA Representative does
Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) applies to organisations established beyond the country's borders. If you offer goods or services to individuals in Korea, or monitor their behaviour online, you can fall in scope without having an established entity in the country.
A Korea PIPA Representative:
Acts as your domestic representative, designated in writing, and you can publish their name and contact details in your Privacy Policy.
Gives data subjects in Korea a local point of contact for their rights requests.
Serves as your point of contact for the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC), including for breach notifications and for materials the PIPC asks you to submit.
The Enforcement Decree thresholds are based either on global revenue, the number of Korean users you handle, or a direct order from the PIPC.
As with our other Representation services, Prighter will take care of this, serving as your domestic representative in Korea, handling filings and inbound requests, so your team can operate from a single dashboard rather than a siloed local intermediary.

Global Representation FAQs
Is there a single global Representative requirement?
No. Representation requirements are jurisdiction-specific. Each country or region maintains its own legal framework and supervisory authority.
Can one provider manage representation in multiple jurisdictions?
Separate legal mandates are required in each jurisdiction. A coordinated provider can streamline oversight and management across markets.
Does appointing Representatives mean full compliance globally?
No. Representation fulfils formal legal requirements where applicable. Substantive compliance obligations remain with your organisation in each jurisdiction.
How do we determine where we need representation?
This depends on where you offer services, process personal data and operate infrastructure. A structured cross-border assessment is the starting point.
