Description:
The Data Act is designed to empower users — both consumers and businesses — by giving them greater control over the data generated by their connected devices, such as cars, smart TVs, and industrial machinery. It lays the foundation for a fair, innovative, and competitive European data economy. In more detail: Rules enabling public sector bodies to access and use data held by the private sector for specific public interest purposes. For instance, public sector bodies will be able to request data necessary to help them respond quickly and securely to a public emergency, with minimal burden on businesses.
