The provisions of various EU Digital Acts are sweeping over companies like a huge wave. A key component is the EU Data Act. Its provisions came into force on 12 September 2025.
The Data Act represents nothing less than a “paradigm shift” in European data law. For the first time, end users will be granted rights to device and service data. In future, the use of certain data for secondary purposes will require a license. Data access rights for users and third parties pose significant challenges for data owners and have a considerable impact on value chains and data-driven business models. The new cloud switching requirements increase commercial pressure for a large number of cloud-based service providers.
Across two webinars, our experts will share their practical experiences from implementation projects related to the Data Act and explain how companies can succeed in tackling the challenges the Data Act brings along.
Session 2
On 12 September 2025 new regulations for switching between cloud services came into force.
Chapter VI of the Data Act requires affected data processing services, such as cloud computing services providers, to adapt their contracts, provide (technical) information on the switching process (which may lead to extraordinary termination rights), and waive switching fees.
In our webinar, we will shed light on these requirements and show how companies can now design their cloud strategy in a legally compliant and future-proof manner. We will provide specific recommendations for contract design and compliance.
What You Will Learn:
- Requirements regarding the classification as a data processing service
- Specific recommendations for contract drafting
