This chart provides an overview of the EU Data Act. The Data Act creates new rules on who can access and use data generated in the EU across all economic sectors. It aims to ensure fairness in the allocation of value from data, stimulate a competitive data market, open opportunities for data-driven innovation and make data more accessible to all users. It focuses primarily on industrial, nonpersonal data but is relevant to data protection.
