EU Data Act
Regulation
European Union
· 2023
The EU Data Act governs who may access and use the data generated by connected products and related services, and requires cloud and data-processing providers to enable switching between them. Unlike the privacy regimes around it, it is written about access and portability rather than about restraint — which makes it the first major European regulation aimed squarely at interfaces.
Horizontal regime. It binds companies by what they do with data, software or
customers, not by the sector they sit in. The industries below are where it creates
specific, additional duties — not the limit of who has to comply.
Countries
Where this binds. Each links to the providers apis.io has catalogued there.
Industries
Each links to that industry as a scored cohort — so the question "how ready is this sector for the regime that governs it?" becomes one you can actually look at.
