Data Governance Act

Meer over het boek

The Data Governance Act (DGA) establishes a legal framework for data use and sharing across various sectors, including industrial, mobility, health, and public data, while aiming to enhance trust in the institutions facilitating this sharing. It encompasses both personal and non-personal data. This book provides a systematic yet practical exploration of the DGA, detailing its mechanisms, regulations, and instruments in an accessible way. It clarifies the interplay between the DGA, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the forthcoming Data Act, which is crucial for data intermediaries, altruistic organizations, and public bodies to operate within legal parameters. The book also addresses potential challenges for companies sharing data with these entities. Key topics include the definition of involved parties, requirements for data use and secure exchange, distinctions between data protection and trade secret law, the roles of data intermediaries and data altruism, the European Data Innovation Council, the possibility of adequacy decisions, and legal consequences for infringements. The target audience includes data intermediaries, altruistic organizations, data protection officers, public authorities, legal practitioners, in-house counsel, companies, trade associations, research institutions, and European institutions.
