From 12 September 2025 onwards, a central objective of the EU Data Act is to strengthen users' rights to access and share their data from connected products and related services. This article focuses on the Data Act's specific obligations in the context of connected products and related services. These obligations affect products' design, contractual transparency, data access rights, and the conditions under which data must be provided to users, third parties, or public bodies.

As we highlighted in our previous article, the Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854) establishes a clear legal framework that empowers users of connected products and related services with enhanced rights over their data.
