Check Data Act when your app works with smart devices, machines, vehicles, sensors, industrial equipment, or cloud/data-processing switching features.
Framework hub
Data Act
The Data Act is relevant when software exposes connected-product data, industrial IoT data, user data access, B2B data sharing, or switching between data-processing services.
EU baseline
If you are established in the EU, operate in the EU, or place this product or service on the EU market, treat this as a first-order compliance check. Non-EU reach language means outsiders can also be covered, not that EU companies are outside scope.
Review scopeFocus 2
Connected-product data
Products and related services may need to support user access to data generated by connected devices and allow certain third-party data sharing.
Focus 3
Cloud and data processing
Providers of data-processing services should watch switching, interoperability, contract, and exit-assistance requirements.
