Why this matters

The EU Data Act creates new obligations around access, sharing and portability of data

The EU Data Act affects how certain businesses make data available to users, customers and third parties. It is especially relevant to organisations involved with connected products, IoT devices, related digital services, cloud services, SaaS platforms and B2B data sharing arrangements.

For many businesses, the difficult first step is understanding whether the rules are likely to apply at all. Data Act Checker helps you perform an initial review, identify the areas that may need attention, and prepare for a more detailed legal, technical or compliance assessment.

Businesses that may need to review the Data Act

  • Manufacturers of connected products or smart devices
  • IoT, telematics and sensor-based businesses
  • SaaS platforms and cloud service providers
  • Businesses that hold or receive product-generated data
  • Companies sharing data under B2B contracts
  • Compliance, legal and data protection teams
