Overview and Importance of the Data Act

The Data Act is a key component of the European data strategy, setting clear rules for accessing and using data generated by networked products and services. Its goal is to unlock the value of data in the EU and promote data exchange.

Key points of the Data Act

  • Data access rights for users: Users of IoT products can access and share their device data with third parties.
  • Obligations for Data Owners: Manufacturers and providers must enable non-discriminatory data access and provide data on request.

 

  • Interoperability and Switching: The Data Act simplifies switching between data processing services and promotes compatibility.
  • Data Protection: The Act complements the GDPR, ensuring personal data protection during data usage.
  • Fair Data Contracts: It prevents unfair data sharing clauses and promotes fair data use.

These changes necessitate a detailed analysis of your current data practices and process adaptations. We are here to guide you through this transition in data law.
