Data law and the Data Act in practice

Legal basis for data from IoT, data science and artificial intelligence

This training is held in German.
The Data Act comes into force in September 2025. The EU regulation regulates claims to machine data and defines conditions for the transfer of IoT data to third parties. It also promotes the portability of data, for example from cloud services. As part of the European Data Strategy, the Data Act creates the basis for free and data-based markets within the EU. A key topic is interoperability - seamless communication and data exchange between different systems. The training provides a comprehensive overview of the EU requirements and the framework conditions for data-based business models. It explains the obligations of IoT providers, the implementation of legal requirements and the relevance of current data for industries such as medicine, research and agriculture. One focus is on data collection for artificial intelligence and compliance with GDPR requirements. During the training , we create checklists, flowcharts and recommendations for action, analyze data licenses and discuss data usage agreements.
