EU Data Act DA-Art.4: User right to access product data (Article 4)

Article 4(1) confirms that, where data cannot be directly accessed under Article 3, the data holder shall make readily available data accessible to the user without undue delay, easily, securely, free of charge, in a comprehensive, structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and, where relevant and technically feasible, of the same quality as is available to the data holder. Article 4(13) prohibits data holders from using non-personal product data to derive insights about the user's economic situation, assets and production methods, or about the user's use of the connected product in any other way that could undermine the commercial position of the user on the markets on which the user is active.
