New Data Governance Act

The Data Governance Act (DGA) creates a legal framework for access to (industrial) data (e.g. mobility and health data) and its re-use.

Guide through the new law
This Practitioner’s Guide offers those involved a practice-related introduction to the new and complex provisions of the DGA. It shows how companies can use the new law to their advantage and what obligations it also imposes on public sector bodies. The introductory book provides information on which requirements must be met to offer and use the respective data intermediation services.

Practical approach
• Comprehensible explanation of recurring terms, including protected data, proportionality of re-use, data altruism, data cooperatives, public registers, objectives of general interest (public policy)
• Relation to data protection and trade secret rules
• Precise guidance on how companies and public sector bodies can design and use the new rules and how they must or may provide or use the data

Target groups
Data intermediation services, data altruism organisations, data protection supervisors, public authorities, lawyers, in-house counsel, companies, trade associations, research institutions, European institutions.
