ABSTRACT
The EU Data Act proposal intends to introduce new rights for the users of IoT devices for access to and sharing of the data (with third parties) that are generated through their use of these devices. This paper presents a first, preliminary analysis of the effectiveness of this ‘user right’ mechanism. Its result is that under the proposed rules this mechanism for data access and data sharing can be expected to be weak and largely ineffective, ie the DA will not achieve its objectives of empowering the users regarding their IoT data, making much more data available for innovation, and a fair sharing of the value from the generated IoT data …
