Summary

This Regulation establishes a comprehensive framework for making available product data and service data. The primary objective is to ensure that manufacturers, users, and data recipients of connected products within the European Union can access necessary information. This process involves making data available to users and recipients, particularly in cases of public interest where exceptional data needs exist, such as the Commission, ECB, or EU bodies requiring specific information for public tasks. Furthermore, the rule aims to facilitate switching between data processing services and introduce safeguards against unlawful third-party access to personal data. It also promotes interoperability standards for data access, transfers, and usage.

The regulation explicitly covers manufacturers, providers, and users of connected products and related services across the Union. Data holders responsible for making data available to data recipients or public sector bodies, where public interest is at stake, fall under this mandate. It further applies to providers of data processing services and participants in smart contract environments. The scope extends to manufacturers and providers of connected products regardless of their location, and includes users of connected products or services in the Union. Crucially, it covers data recipients who hold or have held data made available, and data holders providing data to recipients or to public sector bodies in exceptional public interest situations. Additionally, it applies to data providers, data recipients, data holders, and third-party data processors in smart contract contexts. The regulation aims to protect personal data while maintaining interoperability and public interest access standards for essential data tasks.
