What is the EU Data Act?
The EU Data Act sets common rules to make Europe’s data economy fairer, more competitive, and more innovative. It unlocks data from connected products and related services, enabling users (consumers and businesses) to access and share the data they help generate under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory conditions. It also eases switching between cloud/edge providers and promotes interoperability, while respecting obligations under the GDPR, trade secrets, and IP.

EU Data Act Representative FAQ's:
EU Data Act Representative
Any company established outside the EU that makes connected products available or provides services (related and unrelated) in the Union must designate an EU legal representative (Art. 37(11)).
What happens if we do not appoint a representative?
Until a representative is designated, all Member States’ authorities may exercise their competence, including the power to impose proportionate and dissuasive penalties (Art. 37(14)).
When must the legal representative be appointed?
The designation must be in place as soon as connected products or services (related or unrelated) are made available on the EU market. Operating without a representative exposes the company to enforcement by all Member States (Art. 37(11), Recital 109).
How does the Data Act interact with the GDPR?
The Data Act applies without prejudice to the GDPR. Where personal data is involved, data protection authorities remain responsible for enforcement, and GDPR obligations continue to apply alongside the Data Act.
