Who we are
Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLCruns Called 2 Work, an invitation-only, community-funded job board for the body of Christ. We are a small US-based operation, which means under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 27 we need an appointed point of contact inside the EU/EEA, and a separate point of contact inside the UK under the UK GDPR, before we can serve members in those regions.
This page explains, in plain language, what the role actually is so you can decide whether it’s something you’d be willing to do before reading the formal mandate.
The role in one line
Be our point of contact in your jurisdiction for data-protection inquiries.
What you’d be responsible for
- Acting as point of contact for the local supervisory authority (the relevant national DPA in the EU/EEA, or the ICO in the UK) and for data subjects with GDPR questions.
- Receiving correspondence about GDPR matters at your address or email and forwarding it to us promptly.
- Holding a copy of our Article 30 records of processing and making them available to the supervisory authority on request.
- Co-operating with the supervisory authority on any enforcement matters that may arise.
- Having your name, address, and email shown in our privacy policy as the appointed representative for your jurisdiction.
What you wouldn’t be responsible for
- You are not our Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO role is separate and we are not asking you to take it on.
- You are not liable for our processing decisions. Compliance liability stays with us as the data controller.
- You don’t make compliance calls on our behalf or speak for us beyond forwarding correspondence and cooperating with the authority.
- You don’t represent us in court or sign contracts on our behalf. The mandate is strictly limited to the Article 27 contact role.
Time commitment
Typically light. For a small community platform like ours, we expect zero to a handful of inquiries per month, mostly consisting of forwarding the occasional email. The role is offered on a volunteer / unpaid basis and the mandate is explicit that there is no compensation.
Eligibility
EU/EEA representative
You are physically established in an EU or EEA member state and can receive postal mail and email at a stable address there. Any EU/EEA country works — what matters is that the address is real and reachable.
UK representative
You are physically established in the United Kingdom and can receive postal mail and email at a stable UK address. Appointing a UK representative is what will let us lift the current UK signup geo-block.
What happens next
- Read the mandate. The contract you’d sign is the Article 27 representative mandate template. It’s short, plain, and limited to the contact role.
- Email us at [email protected] with a short note saying which slot (EU/EEA or UK) you’d be willing to fill.
- We sign the mandate with you and add your name, address, and email to the privacy policy as the appointed representative.
For an official explanation of the Article 27 role independent of us, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) both publish public guidance you can look up directly.
